English anthem

Land of Hope and Glory for me. You can't get any more English and patriotic and Elgar wrote amazing music.

We have to pitch a National Anthem at the level of the average footballer?

Many footballers (and others) do not know the words of God Save the Queen so what hope is there for for them to know/learn Jerusalem or Land of Hope and Glory?

Jerusalem would be my choice too ( so what about satanic mills, they are all art galleries now anyway.) Land of is a bit dreary.
Where England is competing as a country we need our own anthem.

Someone should right a rousing anthem to John of Gaunt's speech in Richard II.......Howard Goodall would be my choice.

Great Merlotgran,

Let's have a catchy little number for a change

If I had a choice nina I would choose Jerusalem, but only against Land of, for me I wouldn't want an anthem which speaks of Christ walking the land or satanic mills . I think our Welsh anthem is great, it just speaks of love and pride in the Land Of My Fathers

Pity there isn't similar for England , I feel sorry for English teams having to sing The Queen,

Someone should write one

That's why I'm in favour of "in England's green and pleasant land"

Not land of hope and glory , it doesn't apply to England only does it?

I vote 'LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY ' .
