God save the Queen...............should it still be our national anthem

God Save The Queen.


We mean it, man.

 

[ilikecheese]

Rock the Casbah

 

[chrissyjack]

Celebrating a true Icon of British Culture, too

 

[Neiziro]

Should be "I Vow to Thee". Would be a beautiful national anthem.

 

[Tubey]

Mos Eisley Cantina music.

Works well.

Should be "I Vow to Thee". Would be a beautiful national anthem.

The lyrics are a bit melancholic, but the tune' s great.

Billy Bragg - The Few

On a more serious note, Jerusalem would be better than GSTQ by miles.

Land of Hope and Glory is a bit colonialist but would probably suit the Telegraph readers. Firestarter is a great shout, though.

As noted above, the conservative singalongs fail to spot that Blake was a bit of a radical. Everyone is happy!

Or I vow to thee my country - satisfactory poem by Cecil Spring Rice set to fine tune - Jupiter by Gustav Holst

The lyrics to the Roast Beef of Old England are rather wry, but the tunes are a dirge.

Blake would be spinning in his grave , if he had one .

 

[Wat Tyler]

I absolutely hate it.

William Blake’s last resting place is at Bunhill Fields Burial Ground, 38 City Road, London EC1Y 2BG.

The exact spot of William Blake’s grave was recently re-discovered by Luis and Carol Garrido. Since 1965, the exact location of William Blake’s grave had been lost and forgotten, while gravestones were taken away to create a new lawn. Nowadays, William Blake’s grave is commemorated by a stone that reads ‘nearby lie the remains of William Blake and his wife Catherine Sophia’. This memorial stone is situated approximately 20 metres away from William Blake’s grave. The actual spot of Blake’s grave is not marked.

No obvious signs of movement, but could be out of shot...
