The National Anthem from 20 Jun 1837 to 22 Jan 1901 & 6 Feb 1952 to 8 Sep 2022: God Save the Queen

So grateful HM made it to her Platinum Jubilee. It's been 70 years of exemplary duty and service.

"Long to reign over us" they're not joking

Rest In Peace Queen Mother 1900 - 2002 Princess Margaret 1930-2002 Diana Princess of Wales 1961-1997 Prince Philip 1921-2021

Seeing Prince Philip next to her singing so proudly made me emotional

When everybody is singing Happy Birthday To You and you just awkwardly gaze around till it's over.

0:45 - the tenors descending on "over us" 0:56 - the musical transition to the second verse taking it to a whole new level. the tempo slows a bit and adds a dramatic effect 1:20 - the resonance of those trumpets 1:36 - that chord 1:04 1:31 1:42 - the descant sopranos followed by a grand FINE! what an arrangement! what an anthem! long live the Queen!!

This song makes the queen live longer I think

70 years of service. She will be missed. 😢

40 years ago today, I watched this live. Hard to believe.

As the motto of Ontario Canada says "Loyal it began and loyal it remains". God save our Queen

So fucking proud to have been born English/British GOD BLESS UK

Musically speaking, national anthems don’t often get arrangements any grander than this. Forget about politics, monarchy vs republic etc and appreciate this amazing musical treat. Listen to the four part harmony, especially the tenors in the first verse, then hear the young boys of St Paul’s cathedral choir add the soaring descant to the second verse with the grand contribution of the 12 fanfare trumpets. This is a superb musical arrangement. Let’s appreciate the great work done by these choirs and musicians, and the late Sir David Willcocks.

At the beginning she looks like she's thinking "Oh my God, not THIS again...!"

I listened to it during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and now I’m listening to it after her death 🥀 May she rest in peace 💔

She will be missed 😔 Thank you for 70 years of service.

This version is by far the best and most majestic of them all. Out of all the anthems in the world, this version truly commands your attention. I remember watching this in the US live on TV in 1981 and I never forgot the sound of this and the impression it left. A wonderful musical masterpiece for the ages.

Tsarist Russians: God save the tsar God: No British: God save the queen God: Understandable, have a nice day

1:14 - 1:30 what a beautiful harmonies. Great compliments to the bandmaster!
