i may have posted this before i cant remember but if i have then i appoligise.
having served in the British Royal Air Force I attended a rememberance service on sunday, like many other men and women ex and currently in the armed forces i swore to always serve and protect queen and country and all
those who live under the union jack flag and to protect and preserve freedom for all where-ever they may be in the world at whatever cost necessary which i was proud and happy to do at whatever cost but i must admit after the service on sunday i said to a friend i have never liked the anthem god save the queen i feel the anthem for england should be
land of hope and glory or rule brittania, just wondering how many of you like your counrtys anthems or would you change it.

hi mate, for me land of hope and glory is the one because a national anthem should be about the country and not a person like god save the queen. cheers

hiya, your anthem is obviously about your country which is what it should be and not about a person like ours. wine

Yes, you are so right. I just never really thought of it that way and I agree a anthem should be about your counrty. thumbs up
