I was workig in HMC Dockyard Halifax when Her magesty passed. the ship I was working on had a radio tuned to the local working channel. There was an anouncement made similar to this "All stations all stations all stations. This is the Quee...King's Harbour Master. The Queen has passed. All ships in his Majesty's Navy are ordered to lower flags to half mast. King's Harbour Master out."

I started my life with God save the King and now will probably end it the same way.

[@garysmith168]

The most emotional version of God Save The King i've heard😥👏👏

[@hergenie]

And where was He?

[@LGranthamsHeir]

This marks the first time ever Britten's arrangement of "God Save The King" was played at the Proms. Very well done!

[@rogerpickford1137]

Tears every time

[@user-lv7or4oh2f]

Incredibly moving....

[@nowhereman6540]

Excellent second verse with the implied threat - it is necessary for the monarch to defend the law

[@hergenie]

It’s more necessary He shows up

[@EK-gr9gd]

Since 1688/89!

[@johnboore7767]

How to put me in tears.

[@Robby334]

Always made tears in my eyes when it was sung "The Queen"

[@evaternell2570]

You wrote God save the Queen. I"ts the same for me .I'm used to that. I'd LOVE United Kingdom, so,so much .All the best from a country in the North ❤❤❤

[@dt6822]

No tears! Keep calm, and carry on! Advance Britannia! Much work to be done to make a better world now lads.

[@Wandrative]

Why. Probably the worst monarch in English history since the normans if you look at it objectively.

[@michaelchopra5614]

I was in tears hearing that and I am in New Zealand, a member of the commonwealth. That was incredible. God save the King.

[@ArturoEscorza]

You're ridiculous

[@user-in1ts5dy8q]

[@pierrecaillouaubineau]

Chaque fois que j'entends le god thave the King, j'ai envie de chanter God save the Queen ! et je pense à la bienaimée Reine Elisabth II. Mais C'est là la force de la monarchie, comme on l'a dit en Francee pendant des siècles "Le Roi est Mort, vie le Roi".

[@missmitra.a96]

God save The King

[@gryhze]

2:46 The presenter is still mourning the passing of the Queen. “Queen Charles.” This is such an emotionally wrought rendition, she is forgiven.

Our beloved Marion Alsop conducting

The first god Save The King at Last Night of The Proms (in 21st century)

[@trifonp]

Vive la République!

[@user-hf3fl3hf6y]

Dio Salvi il Re!

[@stefanthomas6496]

Sehr würdevoll wie da dem englischen König Karl dem dritten begegnet wird.

[@wfmihok]

Better than what we have for a leader: USA

[@dt6822]

I think its great that the lesbian members of the choire were able to wear a tuxedo.

[@hergenie]

I’ll never understand why he wasn’t there. It’s a tradition. God dammit when will they learn. Maybe too late.

[@cocoaorange1]

Now that King Charles is battling cancer, the words have a different meaning now.

[@dt6822]

Is it the French maestro?

[@rkisi2181]

Long live King Charles III

[@rajivmurkejee7498]

Britain must be alone in having a national anthem about one person and not the people or the nation

[@IngeDemmendaal]

Not really. The anthem of the Netherlands is a 15 couplet protest against the Spanish oppression, written in the first person singular, the protagonist being William of Orange, the Father of the Nation. He was murdered in 1584, so ordered by king Philip II of Spain

[@rajivmurkejee7498]

@@IngeDemmendaal Yep you're right. Very peculiar lyrics for the Dutch Anthem . Like the British it's all about history and tradition

[@96alexmay]

Kimigayo is the National Anthem of Japan, and literally is about the same as God Save the King

[@christianpsalmsbadilles585]

tell me you're ignorant without telling me you're ignorant

[@rkisi2181]

We won the Battle of Britain!

God Save The King!
