Commonwealth of Australia | God Save The Queen

The Royal Hymn Of Australia, God Save The Queen. Sung and Played by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
Often played during ANZAC, Remembrance and Royal occasions. This intrinsic and traditional element of the Australian experience was once Australia's National Anthem from 1788 to 1984 for almost 200 years.
This is the very same anthem that our ANZACs, and the majority of our war veterans sung to with such patriotic fervor and passion.
At the proclamation of our current national anthem in 1984, the Governor-General Sir Ninian Stephen declared that the former anthem was to be named the Royal Anthem of Australia and to be played on appropriate occasions such as ANZAC dawn services, Remembrance Day ceremonies and Royal Occasions and Celebrations.
The Royal Anthem has been sung as part of the ANZAC Dawn Service program since its inception. And the Royal Anthem today, symbolises our traditions, our culture, and the Australian experience.
God Save Our Queen, Advance Australia!

I have the same Wessex descendancy. Most don't think about Alfred - you are the first one to mention him. You sir, know your history!

[@halfmoon106]

@@alwellus Elizabeth II is also descended from Harold Godwinson, William the Conqueror, and Edward III. Edward III is the ancestor of something like 99% of all English people.

[@alwellus]

@@halfmoon106 Harold and William were first cousins to whom Edward Confessor promised the throne - too bad he only had one. I've heard that the house of Plantagenet is possibly an ancestor to 10-15% of English people, but that is still HIGHLY debated. Other ancestors include the Stuarts, the Von Welfs, the Von Mecklinburgs the Von Wettins and the Von Saxe-Coburg-Gothas.

Primary school at parades we would sing both modern verses of Advance Australia Fair. Pretty crook that we didn't sing God Save the Queen as well. I reckon we have 2 anthems because she's our Queen also but I had to learn it myself outside the school system which frankly taught me fuck all. God Bless Australia and God Save the Queen.

What does commonwealth mean in Australia's name ? Does it mean that Australia is part of Commonwealth ?

[@sillycado]

The term "Commonwealth" in the name "Commonwealth of Australia" refers to the country's political structure and system of government. A Commonwealth is a political community founded for the common good. In the case of Australia, the term "Commonwealth" indicates that the country is a federation of states and territories that have come together for the purpose of governing themselves as a single nation. The Commonwealth of Australia was established on January 1, 1901, with the passage of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, which united the six previously separate British colonies of Australia into one federal entity. Today, the term "Commonwealth" is often used to refer to the association of countries that were formerly part of the British Empire. Australia is one of 54 member countries in the Commonwealth of Nations, a voluntary association of independent countries that cooperate on a range of issues, including political, economic, and cultural matters.

[@Shkk]

@@sillycado Thanks for explaining initially I thought that the term 'Commonwealth' in Australia's name was to denote it's status as a *Commonwealth realm*. By the way there are 56 member states in the commonwealth.

[@sillycado]

@@Shkk Np oh yeah thanks for the correction

[@sillycado]

Well if it mean that australia was part of the Commonwealth,that would affect other country like canada (Dominion of Canada) to (Commonwealth of Canada) or New Zealand (New Zealand) to (Commonwealth of New Zealand)

[@Shkk]

@@sillycado I don't think so that it would affect other realms or require other realms to change their names (like Commonwealth of Canada ). Like Australia's and New zealand's flag have the Union Jack to show that they are in the commonwealth but Canada doesn't have it and is not required to . In the same way Canada wouldn't be required to change its name either
