..the words to the National Anthem? After all, she's never had to sing it, and I'm sure she doesn't listen to it when it's played because she must be bored with it by now.

Interesting question.

Surely she would have had to sing 'God Save the King' when George VI was on the throne so I assume she'd have the intelligence to realise that the 'king' has now changed to 'queen'.

That would be great. They would of course have to make it compulsory to do a little Irish dance when singing it.

1. God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!

2. O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all!

3. Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign;
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!

4. Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world over.

5. From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Britain's sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!

6. Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the King!

I like the last verse!

I only knew the first verse, I don't need too know it anyway, Flower of Scotland all the way. But that's only Rugby they sing that at, right?

I know the 1st and 3rd verse by heart. All the others are usually omitted.

Of course they have balls they would be stuck if they didn't have any if they lost one then they would be screwed so they need the spare balls to play.

Why should I know? Perhaps it's against English tradition.

The English national anthem is actually Land Of Hope And Glory. Not many people know that.

Good to know, thanks!
