I was at the last night in 2008, not at the Royal Albert Hall but in Hyde Park. There were people of all races, ages and backgrounds flying flags of many different nations and everyone was going mad belting out this as well the other standards. We were just partying to great music. Can't go wrong with this one. Elgar himself admitted a tune like this comes along only once a lifetime.

[@nicolelawless9942]

I was in London during the 75th Anniversary of the Auschwitz liberation and finding out my Anne Frank project was published was very emotional and that was the reason I got invited to the Royal Albert Hall to join the event. I was only 17 years old at the time but I’m now 21 and I continue to be supported by the Holocaust foundations as I continue my interest in the tragedy that unfolded during the war. I should have been recognised by the late Queen for this or maybe the princess Royal might have noticed it

[@OzzieBo]

I’m sorry, but I think it should only be the Union flag.

[@wespearcey5953]

My dearest late nan always said this should of been the National Anthem!! She used to sing it with such pride.... POWERFUL to the EXTREME!! God Save the Queen/king never tuned in with me. And I don't think it does with many people. We are the LAND OF HOPE & GLOrY!!!

[@2606djb]

I would agree with that...Land of Hope and glory would make a far better National Anthem. I don't dislike the Royal family but the anthem should be about country, not a family.

[@ChainsawWieldingSquirrelChaser]

It’s unfortunately not the same. They almost removed Land Of Hope And Glory and Rule Britannia and then when they said they’d keep it, they started waving the pride flag at it. What does the pride flag have anything to do with pure British patriotism? I was born in the wrong generation.
