Just because it's on the internet it doesn't mean it's true. The English National Anthem IS Land of Hope and Glory. Trust me, I'm a student. It's a misheld belief that God Save the Queen is the national anthem of England. The reason they used Land of Hope and Glory during the commonwealth games is because Land of Hope and Glory is the English national anthem.

You could use the same argument about the Commonwealth games. You can tell me I'm wrong as much as you want, until I find out otherwise I'm right.

You don't think I already thought of that? I don't need to prove anything. I know I'm right.

That proves me right:
Guardian wrote:'We do get calls from punters sometimes asking us to switch, with "Land of Hope and Glory" the alternative usually mentioned. We're sticking with "God Save The Queen" because the English recognise it as our national anthem.'

Land of Hope and Glory is the alternative because it's the English national anthem. Cheers Gaspode.

Hundreds of citizens have written to Tony Blair from every part of Britain urging that 'God Save The Queen' is replaced by a 'more appropriate' tune. 'Their general opin ion is "England, get your own national anthem; 'God Save The Queen' is a British song",' explained a Downing Street insider.


Other than the fact it doesnt at all sidla an anyone who can read can see it.

That only proves that most people don't know that Land of Hope and Glory is the English national anthem, which is what I said in the first place.

I really don't understand why you don't believe me. Why would I make it up?

That doesn't prove anything either, it only proves that the people that wrote the sites doesn't know that Land of Hope and Glory is the English national anthem.

And further to this, I'd just like to add that 'Flower of Scotland' isn't the official National Anthem of Scotland. God Save the Queen is.

'Land of Our Fathers' isn't the official National Anthem of Wales. God Save the Queen is.

Because Scotland and Wales are in the UK. Anyway, at least us welsh have thought up our own, even if it isnt official, which, i think you will find that it has been MADE official, so, at least us welsh have brains (with the exceptoin of me!) Wales have a national anthem, Scotland have a national anthem, even if they are not official, at least they got up off their arses and decided to make one instead of pinching it, saying it its just theirs, when it is the whole of the uks national anthem
