Who says you have to sing the national anthem?

Just because your National Anthem is "God Save the Queen"

Actually my great great grandfather wrote the Welsh national anthem. Land Of My Fathers.

Hey, maybe you can help then - I've always wondered what that title said about Welsh women...?

Isn't that he national song, not the national anthem? I have been doing some reading of late, and several sources quote that "God Save the Queen" is the national anthem of Great Britain (including Wales) but "nations" such as Wales have a National Song?

Wales sing "Land of My Fathers" and Scotland sing "Flower of Scotland" (although not all the verses - one is banned, I think).

England don't have a national song and so sing "God Save the Queen", as I recall. They could possibly sing "Land of Hope and Glory", although that's just as much of a dirge as "God Save the Queen". The fans sing "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" - which is an old African-American song and "Jerusalem" which pretty much shows up their middle-class background!

This might help you understand the whole UK, Great Britain situation.

England have no official national anthem.

Land of my Fathers by tradition is the national anthem of Wales.

I thought that was Rockingham?

[welshrugbyfan]

Rockingham is "I've got three kids, one of each".

Rockingham is four kids, seven fathers, three mothers two houses, six rusted Commodores, three cartons of VB a night!

and a partridge in a pear tree!
