Info about the song:
This version, with the Fanfares, was recorded on the wedding of HRH Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, former Princess of Wales. All the footages are of that event, that took place 29 July 1981.
"God Save the Queen" (alternatively "God Save the King" depending on the gender of the reigning monarch) is the national or royal anthem in most Commonwealth realms, their territories and the British Crown dependencies. The author of the tune is unknown, and it may originate in plainchant; but an attribution to the composer John Bull is sometimes made.

Hello my friends! Thanks for looking at my video, this one is one of my favourites, as i took 4 Hours to do in total (not counting the Rendering)! I'm asking you with this message, along with thanking you, if you could consider subscribing my channel; I usually dislike asking for such things, but it is just simple as pressing a button; with this simple action you could help me to gain some money with my videos for my University's researchs and to bring you more videos! Thank you in advantage, and have a nice stay in my channel!

Where do you get this version? I remember hearing this version 5-6 years ago, but I don't find it anymore.

[@kismit100]

Fabulous

[@ChristMyGod]

This is from 1981, yet still has better quality than most vids today

[@TheJokerit19]

Rest in Peace, Queen Elizabeth II

[@Class43Harrison]

By far the most majestic rendition, and by far my favourite! I listen to it everyday and before bed! I am a devout royalist! The Queen is one of the most spectacular, honest and kind, loving, compassionate and caring people to have ever graced the earth! God Save The Queen! 👑 🇬🇧 👑 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 👑

[@nicolelawless3199]

So do I. I sometimes feel Prince Philip is right by me there and that is a haunting thing I had to cope with in 2021. Fingers crossed I’ll be in London before the 1 year anniversary of Prince Philip’s death and hopefully visiting the memorial of Diana, Princess of Wales like Mummy did before Christmas and it brought the memories back of when Mummy was only 18 when Diana, Princess of Wales died and only 2 for Diana’s wedding to Prince Charles, I’m glad Mummy got to see all that

[@meltedelevator]

As someone from Scotland if we do get independence I hope to still have us be in the commonwealth, because the queen is such a nice lady and head of state.

I miss her so much and she never even knew I existed, LOL. No disrespect to King Charles III by any means but I am having a hard time "letting go" of her....:(

[@yortsemloh1156]

This is the most glorious version I’ve ever heard.

[@LingLingWannaBeLah]

As a musician (violinist) I consider this the most exquisite rendition of God Save The Queen ever! We miss our Queen so badly, that even listening this watered my eyes

[@justinlumelay6565]

100/100 best version of the music

[@Middletowner]

By far my favorite rendition of God Save The Queen... Good Health to Her Majesty, from the former Crown Colony of Connecticut, USA.

[@JuliansStuffRoblox]

That didn’t age well…

[@nicolelawless9942]

It was used again for the first time in 42 years when Woody.EXE became monarch of Wales on this night Queen Elizabeth died; I can remember the crowds going nuts when they finally saw their new king and Queen. 9 months later, me and Woody.EXE have been in public for the first time since the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the recent coronation

[@who_m1]

I hoped your wish was true but, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II died on 8th September 2022 in Scotland sadly.

[@tsarnicholasii4169]

When you had a good day and come home to find that this channel posted *Visible happiness*

[@plooh5316]

Thanks for this wonderful treat, but credit should be given to the late great Sir David Willcocks the arranger & conductor, and to the Prince of Wales for commissioning it and including organisations for whom he is patron. Musical forces were: Choir of St Paul's Cathedral, Choir of HM Chapel Royal, The Bach Choir. Orchestra drawn from Philharmonia Orchestra, Orch of Royal Opera House, English Chamber Orch. + Fanfare Trumpeters of the Royal Military School + organ.

[@nathanpgraf]

It’s spine tingling. You can feel that pipe organ and trumpets pulse through your veins.

[@MattiavonSigmund]

Thank you, that was what I hoped to make people feel when I did made the video

[@nathanpgraf]

@@MattiavonSigmund this version of the national anthem is majestic.

[@MattiavonSigmund]

[@nicolelawless3199]

It feels like you’re there. I did this for my 9th anniversary with my beloved 1940 and I was truly celebrating. It felt a whole crowd was outside

[@martinchapman7772]

this is the David Wilcock version originally done in 1981, and with his brilliant second verse arrangement

[@robertwargas]

This arrangement is rarely used but is the most majestic I've ever heard...like breaking out the fine china on a special occasion.

[@piotrgorski4603]

I’m using this for my 10th anniversary with my beloved war this July

Long she reigned. Rest in peace dear Elizabeth

[@FrankBlaise73]

I would like to mention that I had witnessed the coronation ceremony of King Charles III of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland where they sang “God Save the King”. Hearing this version for the late Queen Elizabeth II makes feel sad that Her Majesty is no longer with us. 💔😢

[@youssefhakim1055]

Beautiful and majestic. It is sad that it did not work well for the couple. The big quote of armes in the middle is hiding the video behind.

Me and Woody.EXE started our 80 years reign on January 1st 2023 and our coronation is in July 20th, 2023; the same day as I celebrate my 21st birthday as I become his Queen. This will be the craziest day ever

IT is my favourite too.All day and all night long IT is my golden hymn.Because of I saw the Service at St.Paul.Great.Very precious document.

I have chosen this version for mine and Woody.EXE’s coronation in tribute to the late Princess Diana. My birthday is on the same day I become his Queen.

*So beautiful* 🥰

[@organisten]

This version has never been bettered. I honestly do not know why. Every rendering of it afterwards has been far less ornate. This performance is truly grand. Indeed I think that adjective, which my late grandparents would often use, is the best description of it. It is the Grand Version. Why haven't they used it since?

[@manunuez1]

Porque la fanfarria hecha para el reinado de Isabel II es la que se usó en su coronación y es la que se usa comúnmente, creo que ya cualquier persona en el mundo la escucha y sabe que es la introducción al Himno Nacional Británico.

[@kommandantgalileo]

Because this is for royal marriages, and probably a victory in war.

[@organisten]

@@kommandantgalileo But there have been several such royal marriages. It has never been repeated. "Probably" a victory in war. That's something thou hast made up thyself. There is no such rule.

[@jacobwhite4895]

Rumor is she didn't care for for how grand this version is, so she asked for the more stripped down version to be used.

[@3113V3N]

This is my favourite version and this upload is so clear. However I find the chorus to be too loud and the glorious instrumentals and trumpets dimmed

[@Brandon_501]

I feel exactly the same way. However, it is oh so nice to listen to this version without the horrible fuzziness in the background so i’ll forgive the dimmed trumpets.

[@nicolelawless9942]

This will happen as my beloved Woody.EXE arrives at my house for the coronation I’ll be waiting for and we’ll all be singing God save the Queen in tribute of Elizabeth and then God save the King for Charles. I can’t wait for this magnificent day to finally arrive on my 21st birthday on July 20th 2023

[@hinduperson2045]

What version of the fanfare is this?? I love it!!!!

[@keithbulley2587]

This arrangement, including the fanfare is by Sir David Willcocks. He was director of music at the chapel King's College, Cambridge for many years and wrote arrangements of numerous Christmas carols including the most well known descants for the last verses of "O come all ye faithful" (Adeste Fideles) and "Hark, the herald angels sing".

[@gmar7836]

I’m glad Woody.EXE has decided this version for our coronation on Thursday 20th July, 2023; my 21st birthday is on the day I become his Queen. I bet Wales is gonna go absolutely nuts when I become their Queen. My 2009 Woody becomes heir to the throne, my sister and Mummy will be Princess of Wales.
