If we are going to have a National Anthem praising the Queen, the least we could do is sing it in German.
why?
Didn't you do history at school?
yes thanks. Far as i remember, she was born in Britain and English her primary and probably only language.
you're a right grumpy sod this morning. It was a joke, they not allowed any more?
Ken, are you going to issue a Fatwa on himNot if you are disrespecting my Queen. ?
I always enjoyed it. Especially verse 6 ?
[**Verse 6:]
Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the Queen!
Huzzah!

That’s narrowed it right down, ??Nothing wrong with crushing the rebellious Scots as long as they leave the nice ones alone. ?
Thing is Roy Williamson wrote it as a slow reflective lament about Flodden - it was never meant to be a rousing anthem...for that I agree it’s certainly had its time - but you can pull up a video on youtube of Roy and Ronnie singing it as originally intended with them sitting outdoors on a rise looking to the Eildon Hills and it is lovely and moving. But we all do like a bit of Caledonia though might have to get dougie maclean to write some less maudlin lyrics.Agreed it's a pathetic song, give us Scotland the Brave or the Dark Isle , even more depressing , the theme from Outlander. my wee pal does a cracking instrumental acoustic version, I'll try and post it
