With lots of national anthems being played on TV at the moment I was just wondering which one people like best, in musical terms.
I think the most stirring is the German one, while the French one is quite irritating and our own ‘God save the queen’ is plain dull. Rule Britannia would be more rousing!
Anyway, our current anthem is British rather than English, so perhaps in the World Cup they should play ‘Jerusalem’, which is the unofficial English anthem.
‘And did those feeeet, in ancient times……..’
