    I like how there was no booing, it was just roundly, and desevedly, ignored for being the pile of shit it is.

    Did you know that:

    1. The national anthems of Spain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and San Marino have no official lyrics.
    2. Liechtenstein's anthem is to the tune of God Save the Queen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJYs...nel=IanBerwick
    3. The anthem of Brittany is to the same tune as Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gfoi_ZwLME

    The old Siamese anthem was sung to GSTQ/K but used just 3 words - Owa Tana Siam. Try it.

    The old Prussian anthem was arranged to the tune of GSTK too.

    Don’t think they played the Welsh anthem in England for many a year. In their eyes it didn’t exist.

    Flower Of Scotland is very powerful and anthemic

    I prefer Yma O Hyd myself , it would make a far better anthem

    It would be pretty worrying if an adult who grew up in the UK didn't know the tune.

    And My Country Tis Of Thee, the Americans had it as one of their unofficial anthems before Star Spangled Banner.

    Wales were the first country to sing a national anthem before a sporting event, fun fact!

    Now we should apologise to the world for people having to hear the shite that is GSTQ/K or star spangled banner before sport.

    GSTQ/K is not only the most awful funereal dirge but it mentions a deity and the reigning monarch. Not exactly an inclusive ditty for atheists and/or republicansin the 21st century. It's a cap-doffing ditty that is hugely anachronistic.

    I think there is still a majority who doff caps to the royals so hardly out of date. Personally I can’t stand it.
