Oh,oh my heart is in England . I went to England in 1963 for a year, fell in love ,stayed 6 years. Fell in love with a guy in first week there, we we were together foe 43 years living in Sydney. The Lord needed him and he went to God in 2016. I'm now 77 and live with my beautiful cats. Love is forever.xxxx John
@Costa del Artlepool TWAT
A beautiful and touching story. So sorry for your loss but I hope you and your cats are happy and healthy
So sorry you lost him. My thoughts are with you. Sometimes something like this really helps. Upbuilding music wherever youre from. It's what we need x
I’m very sorry for your loss! That’s a touching story and I’m very glad you had all those precious years and memories together. Sending you all my love, for London 🇬🇧
Wow!
I love Jerusalem so much. My son was born in the England , when we were working there .
Tragically , my son died.
We had Jerusalem sung at his funeral because of his birthplace.
My condolences
@@victorbirkner , thank you .
As we mourn our Queen, my tears just turned to sadness for you when I read that. ❤️
@@dvws1, thank you for your kind words.
If Jesus did travel to England, at least your son was born in England’s green and pleasant land. May he be in peace with Jesus and share his story. God bless you and your blood.
As a Greek... I cannot tell you how much I'm moved by this beautiful song. I almost cried in the middle of the night watching this. God bless you.
Ευχαριστουμε πολυ. Να εισαι παντα καλα..
I can not listen or sing this song without crying my eyes out it makes me proud to be ENGLISH you can stick Britain we're the sun don't shine im English till I die I know I am I'm sure I am ENGLISH till I die❤
Through Christ we are united forever.
Have some baklava Spiro.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth left us to be with her family today, 08 September 2022. As long as her name is spoken, she remains with us. God save the Queen.
She is still my Queen, The one and only Queen, Feb 2024 🇬🇧🏴
ahh I know. It's a year later and it's still emotional.
Well said Robert
No truer word
The Queen spent millions so a deviant could escape justice. She's in hell now.
God save Her Majesty...
And may he have mercy on our souls.
I'm an American who loves the United Kingdom and her people

God bless America in Jesus name :)
Same our cousins across the pond 👍🇬🇧 🇺🇸
When America was hit by 9/11 and all the people of Britain stood stalwartly by our side, I gained a new appreciation for your great country. I then proceeded to teach all my music classes Jerusalem! Love you my dear brothers and sisters across the sea.
God bless America I hope are great nations still are great in 10 years time God bless you we have your back
Respect from the uk👍
God bless America & all your people...
alister moore sit down, boy, and shut up!
The UK loves the USA also we have a long history together and we are proud to stand with you shoulder to shoulder. Even though you turned up late in WW1 & WW2 lol but your forgiven now hehe. Seriously though we are two great nations that stand up for freedom and justice glad to have you as friends
Not many songs make me as emotional and give me goosebumps like this one. Proudly Scottish. Fiercely British. 🇬🇧
I just hope the rest of your country men and woman feel like this when that little woman gets the vote

Britain must stay unite. I hope you guys change your minds about leaving. It would be a massive mistake
Jerusalem has to be one of the most powerful pieces of music ever written.
That and ode to joy
@@jonahsargent750 Bach’s St Matthew passion also. In particular the opening and final choruses. Power beyond words.
I have to say that William Blake did give Mr. Parry a good start.

Jerusalem is the real national anthem of ENGLAND.
This is NOT nationalism.... This...IS.... PATRIOTISM.
Implying that nationalism is a bad thing...
Nationalism is the highest form of patriotism
@@SY-qh7wc Nationalism is the love for your ethnic group, patriotism is the love for your country and its institutions and what they represent.
@@NapoleonBonaparde But Nationalism secures the country for it's patriots
@Nick the chopper The nations in the new world are more in line with civic nationalism where they are defined by the citizenship they have while ethnic nationalism is what you described, and that is more common in the countries of the old world.
Jerusalem is proof that true beauty of a nation is in its culture and people, not its government and politics. I am an Indian researcher and a doctoral student of eighteenth and nineteenth century British literature, and I get goosebumps whenever I listen to Jerusalem.
Nice post, Hello from England
The Mayor of London of doesn't
God speed Sayan
And its capacity for introspection.
@@arthurballs9632What exactly is your comment? It’s not English.
This was, and remains the finest rendition of the national anthem I've ever heard. I remember being moved by it at the time. I wonder if anyone else has also picked up on the fact that this performance was exactly 10 years to the day before Her Majesty's passing. GSTQ LLTK
Yes, I played it loud.
I agree and it's why I keep coming to this video to listen
Agreed it is the best version I have ever heard.
We had a birthday party here in the US with a group of ex-pats and I played this video as we remembered the Queen. Everyone was moved to tears, including my American wife.
What a wonderful post thank you
Playing it now
After hearing the passing of our beloved Queen Elizabeth II, I felt it necessary to revisit this gem. God bless her and god save her
thought I had no more tears
Exact same reaction here. Neither of these songs could be more beautifully rendered.
Thank you for sharing your Queen with the world! Her Majesty was respected and loved.🇺🇸
Crazy because she died 10 years to the exact day of this performance :S
God be with our great Queen, Elizabeth!
Am a true Scot and I love England and English people ,, my brothers and sisters forever
Aye! Couldn't agree more.
.b--b-but..no true Scotsman...
never heard a scot say that before ! haha
Aww, thanks!
As an American, a member of this revolutionary colony, I agree.
I’m an x soldier who served my country I’m very proud to be English we will never give up fighting for what we believe in
Thank you we appreciate you🧡

Thank you for serving and protecting this great nation!

Too old , fat and knackered to wear HM's uniform ant more...but if any fucker threatens this island's traditions and values...not on my watch, not ever!
6000 people singing in unison.... and with love, and with passion.... this is Britain and the British singing our no.2 national anthem....
And not English flag..SMH
I am from Flanders/Belgium and we love the UK very much!!!!
Thank you God bless you and Belgium :)
We love Belgium, well 1914 showed the average Brit's compassion
Swop places then I really can't stand England anymore it's going down the pan very fast..
Hello Christina, I hope my comment wasn't taken as a form of invasion of your comments privacy. I'm here to make friends, happy new year, how are you? Where are you from?
As an Englishman reading through these comments I am overwhelmed with the love expressed by people from around the world. Thank you and God bless, have a great day
❤️🏴🇬🇧
So am I. The love from the Commonwealth is astounding. God Bless you all and God save our Queen.
🏴🏴🏴
Love and Light
We love the UK and British people. Greetings from Spain!
I have noticed a budding resurgence in mutual appreciation, support and kindred bond between the u.k, America, Australia and Canada recently (to name but a few) I sincerely hope this continues and we can stand firmly together. We have woken up to those that would divide us and in so take over us bit by bit. Thank the good lord above and our innate spirit. We may bicker amongst ourselves from time to time...But I dare anyone to stand up to us face to face.
I hope you are right Mark, for we will need a special kind of bond between nations to get through this. Maybe this is the catalyst from which we can once again come together in mutual respect and common toil. Like the Great Man said; 'let us go forward together'
@@deiterjohannson9116 AMEN to that! From a fellow Australian and a kindred spirit!👍
I second that 💯! From a fellow Australian forever standing with the allied forces!🤝
Perfectly said. Thank you and may God bless us all.
Mary Klock many thanks. And the ties grow stronger still 👌🏻
I'm French, 21 years old, and I went to London three times : in 2016, 2017 and 2018. These were the only vacation I could afford in my life, because my mom managed to find a decent paying job 5 years ago. We only stayed for a few days in inexpensive places, we ate at cheap but awesome places and bought very cheap souvenirs but I will forever remember these vacations. I heard that a lot of Britons criticize the Londoners, but they were so kind and polite to us. It's becoming harder to meet strangers so well-behaved in France ! We discovered a place really different from our small town, full of traditions and secrets. I wish I could get back in England to visit the rest of the country... But right now I can't afford to pay a passport. I'm sad and I hope the UK and France will sign a contract to ease travels between the countries !
We are not perfect, but we try..
Many many things have happened in the past 20 years Marie.. I also wish I knew what is going on too.... but am also glad that I went into Europe when the beginning of Easyjet was taking off... Those days and those memories of what I have seen of Europe will stay with me. As the world changes.. and as China goes online... and that they joined the WTO too... I don't even know where we begin, or end....
Why London? I am British diaspora, English and Cornish, so I always visit everywhere except London in the UK.
@@GerMFnU1848Sax Well I come from a small city with a very small European airport. 3/4 of our flights go to Paris (even if we have the TGV here where's the logic lol) so it's already a miracle that we have flights to London. I consider myself a like a country girl seeing the size of my place so discovering a huge city is very interesting to me. I'd like to discover the rest of the UK but I don't have enough money to stay more than 4 days. I've heard trains aren't so great to travel around so I would have to take the car but... I'm terrified to drive on the right side (I'm a terrible driver)...
@@marietasca8373 yes, visit the real Britain, London is not British. And transport is poorly managed sorry,best of luck.
I will always be in awe of the UK and its people. I long for the day when I can call the UK my home. From the heart of the Mediterranean, the George Cross Island salutes you :) 🇲🇹🇬🇧
Glad to be born here and remembrance is amazing and I’m supported by thousands there. The best part of remembrance is everyone walking by my side and understanding my grief for those who died in the First World War. I was supported by thousands in 2017
I got that mass support in the Holocaust ceremony 2 years ago and I thanked everyone for it. It’s insane the love I get in Wales and I hope it stays that way
Trust me you don't want to come to the UK you live in the freaking mediterainian and you want to swop for Cold,Grey,Drab,Rainy,Dull,boring UK??? You mad?? I'd swop places with you anytime mate..
Malta will ALWAYS be remembered
Malta, the bravest island on earth!
30 years in the US, and the nostalgia of this hymn and the last night of the proms still bring tears to my eyes. Patriotism has nothin' to do with politics at all.
Amen, Michael. It brings tears to my eyes, too and I'm not even British.
Hope the US is treating you well! bless you, from London
As an Englishman , how can we not be proud of our heritage ' along with the welsh , Scots and Irish .
What a bunch of island we are '
And how we have shaped the world .
love all our welsh, Scottish and Irish brothers and sister ❤️
Artemis Goddess Of Hunting shut up you fool
this is indeed true. The germans have done much, so the great culture of Italy and France, but Britain reigns supreme above any others. Its the culture of endeavour, creativity, entreprise, science and ultimately the culture of always strive to improve, to be better. This world has advanced thanks to Britain, to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, and thats the entire and whole truth
We must become nation-state if we don't our union will crumble.
Proud of my Anglo-Saxon/English blood and heritage
As a kiwi/Aussie, so appreciative of the commonwealth and to the beautiful Queen, RIP and thank you for all you’ve done ❤️
The modern world was shaped by the English speaking peoples. Go ahead and whine and nitpick for all the past mistakes but truth is this bunch of people brought the world much of the good stuff to be had.
I joined the Australian Army to serve the Queen, God save the Queen. Let's get CANZUK working
Too right my Aussie brother
Ill second that. Watching you lot play rugby league, i know you're all hard bastards
A true empire of equality amongst all her majesties subject realms.
Legend CANZUK to powerful for the world powers to allow it
Agreed
Her Majesty is 94 today, and she and Philip have been married for about 72.5 of those years. How can anybody not be in awe of that?
Elizabeth II is the WORST monarch we have ever had and we have had some pretty shit Kings and Queens in our time and that says a lot.
David Josephus Daniel Nuntius She sits idle while this country gets taken over isn’t she the defender of the faith in our nation?
Henry V King of England and France Even though I admire that she and her hubby have been married for almost 73 years, I agree with you. I wish she would fire some people, despite the fact that a constitutional crisis would then follow. This country is being bled dry by so many abuses that our leadership seem to be doing nothing about. I don’t think she has a clue what life is like for those of us who don’t live the lifestyle that she leads. She’s surrounded by people who seem to be doing their best to stick two fingers up to the rest of us. I wish she’d see a post like this one, but that’ll never happen.
@@TripsandFeasts1 Your right she should walk through the streets in Luton I honestly think she is oblivious to what is going on inside her own realm.
@@henryvkingofenglandandfran7220 sad thing is if she did try to do something a lot of people would just kick and scream over it and possibly try to overthrow her

Am a Nigerian 🇳🇬 am proud to be part of the commonwealth 😘😘😘
Yes, my friend 😎
Proud for you to be in it. Thank You
And we're proud of you
The Commonwealth is and always has been our greatest strength. We in the UK should embrace it more.
Flipping right
I can not say how genuinely life-altering her death will be on the 2.5 billion of us, her royal subjects in the united kingdom, the realm and the holy commonwealth of nations. She's all we've ever known, she's not just Great Britain's queen, she was the Queen of the world, in a cultural and loving sense. we really are living thru some monumental historical events lately. HM the queen ELIZABETH II, there will never be anyone who compares to her. EVER. this is a cultural reset. and my British heart is breaking. the streets of England are solemn, all colours, creeds and differences united today. it is just mind-blowing. WHAT A WOMAN!!!! The world stands behind the UK at present and by god, we really hope you all allow us brits to mourn peacefully who was the greatest woman and leader the modern world has ever seen. GOD bless you HM Elizabeth II. YOU DID SPECTACULARLY and will go down In history as ELIZABETH THE GREAT!!!!
Elizabeth the Great -- no truer words
Beautifully said !!
Everyone liked Elizabeth II, even Republicans did. She definitely united people like no other. I think you are right, in that we won't see anyone like her again (definitely not in our life times).
I have never imagined I will cry this hard over her death, but here I am still crying whenever I see a tribute to her majesty, It's such a loss and we will need time to fully process the fact that she's no longer with us, I guess in a way, I have never imagined Britain without her, she will always be remembered and she will always be missed.
i still cant believe it
My father Bill passed away in my arms just over a year ago. He passed with the courage and dignity he showed throughout his life. His last words to me were "I love you son" and my last words to him were whispered so only he could hear... I meant every word Dad!!! This hymn was played at his funeral... My heart swells with pride every time I hear it and remember his voice booming out this hymn in church. I miss you pal. I will see you again soon 💔
Craig Weaver this is so touching, I’m so sorry for your loss! God bless you ❤️
May god bless you ❤️

I was driving home, in 2012, when the Detroit "classical" music station played these two pieces. I had never heard of "The Proms", much less "The Last Night at the Proms." When I heard what it was, I went to my local store to purchase it. I was stunned to find out the chorus, which sounded to my ears entirely professional and coherent was in fact the AUDIENCE singing along.
We're not just pretty faces you know.
And to be lucky enough to be born British was to have won life's lottery.
I am sooooooo fukin proud to be British.
I love my queen and Country so much that I would gladly die for my flag.
The Proms is on this week but not sure how many days are left
@@jayseaem and I would gladly die for the English soil beneath my feet....to defend England to my last breath would be the greatest honour one could know...
Singing in choirs at school was the norm and most people could sing Hymns Ancient and Modern with no trouble. in the 1950s. I suppose it has continued since then . Most English and Welsh can sing in crowds. at football matches etc.
This years last night of the proms is 10 September 2022 at 7:15pm UK time
Indian 🇮🇳 but love Britain too because we inherited your whole system 😅 proud of commonwealth 🇬🇧
Proud of what? Of the famines of the partition? Of the massacres? Of stealing the wealth of india?

@@shareefsafadi7154 so true. Britain raped India of its wealth and then divided it.
They did a lot of good too, but overall it was definitely a net negative.

As a Patriotic Yankee who loves Great Britain, I love this Blake hymn. It speaks to me.

@@carlmuench9184 I see Americans, Americans which are not inported at some point, that is.. as family, the same cloth so to speak. I love the U.S also. Try czcams.com/video/GZNJFrb0IGo/video.html&ab_channel=TheBandsofHMRoyalMarines ... Thats powerful.
I'm a Yank, so I have little merit to make a statement. I'm sitting here, at this moment, bawling. The UK is at such a precipitous moment in her history both past and future. For as long as my lifetime, she has had the consistent service on one person who has served her peoples, guided her country through times good and bad, and loved her nation with more than all of her being. It is simply humbling to see that, amidst the chaos, and above the fray stands a nation in love with their sovereign. She is so very deserving of it, and her nation is so blessed to have her. May God continue to bless the United kingdom, and may God save, indeed, your Queen.
A minority among us want her gone, I am not one of them. In these ever darkening times, we need her now more than ever.
She is a symbol of everything we are. I am proud of her.
Thank you for your comment. It made me tear up.
Many thanks for you kind words As an Englishman born and living in London I have always said if I had not been born English I would love to have been born American.God bless UK/USA
I too am a Yank, but my family on both sides is from the UK. I had the privilege to visit and see where I came from. God save the Queen.

The American poet Robert Frost asked his friend English poet Edmund Thomas why the latter had enlisted to fight in World War One when he was too old and Thomas knelt and picked up a piece of English soil and held it in his hand and simply said "For this"....Thomas died at Arras in 1917.

A true commonwealth citizen. Those anthems are for all of us who pledge allegiance and fealty to the crown.
A question to any non English/British or crown citizen who has a view on the the last night of the proms. I see many a flag being waved, often the colours of countries who to be frank don’t like us much. I’m looking at you here Ireland. What is it that compelled you to come to the Albert hall and to revel in the celebration of British pomp and circumstance?

Its not just about admiring "their patriotism" but recognizing that their patriotism, their way of looking at life nurtured and created ours. The United States and its stubborn commitment to freedom doesn't exist without the Brits. Long live the anglosphere!

June Foley But bring me my Arrows of Desire and Dark Satanic Mills. Blake did not think much of the arrangements of the England of his time.
@@robcrowe11 No, but he was able to object about the conditions. The English press had a freedom which was unimaginable in France at that time.
Insperato62 Actually there was plenty of freedom in France before and after 1789. Blake was in with a crowd that the Prime Minister would target, and King & Constitution mobs would torment. Repression without a guillotine. Basically most of the English of that time were pretty sedate. And there are reasons beyond difficulty for why Blake was an obscure printer during his lifetime.
It is a beautiful and stirring poem. And better for admitting in contradictions. And sometimes a little weird, "Arrows of Desire"!?!

As a kid in Sydney, we always stood for the National anthem, GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. Times have changed, and not for the best in my opinion. I listened to this, remembering my Dad, a proud ex Digger, standing to attention beside me as the Anthem was played... I still get a lump in my throat when I hear this played. Politics decided we change our Anthem, but I will always feel a great connection to that wonderful Anthem and all it stood for. When Her Royal Majesty finally passes from our lives I will see the passing of a true Statesman and a person who has set the standard in Honour and Service to her Country. Genuinely loved and respected throughout the world.
God bless the British, who hung on in the darkest days of WWII and stood by America after 9/11.
Indeed. Mutual love and respect mate.
Amen
I am an American and this gives me "goose-bumps" every time I listen to it. May God bless England and King Charles III.
Thank you my American friend.
American with English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish roots. This performance moves me more than I am able to express. God Save King Charles III.
F**k the royals they are parasitic leeches the only one I had a bit of respect for was The Queen because the rest of them are absolutely useless.And there's a lot of anti royals in ENGLAND who think the monarchy should be abolished now we live in 2023 not 1223..

THE 'greatest' ?
'Greater' than Britain ITSELF ?
I think not: let's content ourselves with ONE of the 'greatest', shall we ?
marvinc999 it is in my opinion. Had Britain not existed America would very likely have ended up like mexico. Imagine the implications to the world that would have involved. Had Britain been just a another off shore island a third of the world would not have been civilised. Australia would still be a stone age nation with just aborigines populating it.
A lot of the great inventions and contributions to the world have come from Britain; directly or indirectly over the past two centuries.
Britain is the true king of the world like the lion is the king of the jungle. In recent years it has declined by ineffective management which was caused by the British themselves on a gullt trip. Nobody has invaded Britain in a thousand years.. That's some record!!!
I visited Britain several years ao. I've never felt so instantly comfortable and at home in my entire life. I do so hope to return some day.

My name is Maribel, I am from Madrid, Spain. I want to congratulate Queen Elizabeth, I have a lot of love and admiration for her. God save the Queen for many years! I don't know if she goes against protocol, but I send her warm regards! Maribel.
This lovely song always makes me think of England. Indeed---the whole world admires and respects this song and the country it stands for. As an American, I am proud to when I think of my English cousins.

i am proud to be a friend of America.
I was discussing with my father some years ago our plans to visit England together , I said I was only concerned about one thing, he asked what that was, I replied that I might not want to come home, Oh he replied why? I said “ because deep in my heart I believe I am an Englishman”. I now know this to be true.
Good man! You have your head screwed on, as we say. My wife had Goan parents, brought up in Kenya and Goa till age 16, fortunately had a British passport by right and is far more patriotic than most British people nowadays!
Hurry up then while i put the kettle
Welcome home

Jerusalem is without a doubt the most beautiful anthem I've ever heard.
after the best of all, the Bozhe Tsarya Krani
Jerusalem is a Hymn and used to be taught in schools, I don’t know if it is now. But it should be
@@kaylaireland3494 I used the word 'anthem' intentionally. Much cooler than God Save the Queen =p
Absolutely
Served with the USAF in Britain in the late '60's. Instantly fell in love with this wonderful and glorious land. I've been an Anglophile ever since. This video captures the spirit of Britain like few others....LOVE IT!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you, I’m in the Royal Navy and we love docking in the states as we love your country, we visited in 2005 in the gulf of Texas on training and a US airman tried trading a pistol for my Manchester United jersey, I good gesture but I would of been put in prison if I took the offer do I just gave it him 🤣
@@davidscarlett4410 actually, there is no Gulf of Texas, it's the Gulf of Mexico, but who's counting. 😉
Just a shame the youngsters don't care about all this now there more interested in technology and music icons and if you asked anyone of them do they know the words to these 2 hymns/songs they'd be stumped..
I have tears every time i listen to this.
But tears of pride ...
God bless you all my English speaking brothers and sisters around the world.
Mother England loves you
What a beautiful thing to say

Anonymous Guy he isn’t a Brit lol, probably some angry colonial who can’t abide with the shame that his backwater was better as part of the Empire.
Just sitting here -- an American -- late at night, *weeping*, uncontrollably. They all stand up at once and sing, from memory, a hymn about working to turn their country into a New Jerusalem, a place where God -- His light and kindness and goodness -- dwells freely.
Samuel Barham
Jerusalem is actually about the eighteen Missing years of Jesus. It is supposed to have been that Jesus came to the southern shores of England on a ship with his Uncle. Joseph of Arimathea who was a tin merchant! Hence the line -: "And dd those feet in ancient times walk on England's Mountains Green!" That start the hymn. Jesus then was supposed to have built a church at Glastonbury in Southern England. The town or village as it was then was called Avalon! So this is where the link to England and Jerusalem come into the equation. This is also why virtually every true English person k own this hymn off by heart. Please watch the link below which will explain the text above in greater detail

Despite being a secular nation
Callum
The UK has only really been a secular nation for around a hundred years but the UK's origins are deeply rooted in Christianity albeit Catholic or protestant since the 1500s so your point is exactly?
@@britbazza3568 Yes and while its good to honor the past, its also better to leave things behind.
Callum so your attitude is to keep looking forward and not look behind then! History has shown that those that do what your suggesting and ignore the past while blindly moving forwards get caught out by history. The wise person keeps one eye on the past and one eye on the future that way one is less likely to make the same mistake twice because they will see what's coming at them from all directions and know how to deal with it from experience!!!!
I am German
Proud and loyal to U.K 💗
Respect from England. Love you guys👌👍
English and Germans, we are brothers and sisters
We both have anglo saxon blood
@@Rose-wk8pe Did you know that the Angles and Saxons were actually germanic tribes before they set over to the British isles. Not many people know about that fact.
thanks dad 🇬🇧♥️🇩🇪
I am Dutch, but I have always loved England. Its buildings, its nature, its culture, its music...so the hymn 'Jerusalem' is very special to me. And to hear 'God save our gracious Queen' brings tears in my eyes. She is such a strong, noble and wonderful person!
Thank you Gemma for your kind words God bless you :)
I also love God Save the Queen and I grieved Prince Philip during it
Ja toch ??
I am Scottish and British, proud of both identities and if I may be allowed to suggest, this should be England's national anthem. God save the Queen should be reserved for events where the Queen attends or when the UK is competing as one nation, such as the Olympics.
Carthage Central as an Englishman I completely agree!
I agree with you mate! God save the queen should be for the whole of the UK, with each of our 4 nations having independent national anthems.
Land of hope and glory would be much better than Jerusalem.
I totally agree.
Im not British, but these song are such tear jerkers (along with Rule Britannia, I vow to Thee, and Land of Hope & Glory ). I wish the theme of future Proms would be patriotism again. Its so sad i missed such wonderful and emotionally moving event, especially when im obsessed with British patriotism.
Driven by Faith, propelled by Duty, God rest our Queen.
God Save The King🇬🇧🏴

Well said!
Excellent sir, I concur.
God rest our Queen.

Remember who we are, we are an Anglosphere, the lost tribes of Israel, we must unite and not forget what has gone before us.
Such majesty.
As a Welshman I am proud to feel a part of Great Britain.
Rule Britannia.
England, Scotland and Whales are Brothers. As all brothers do, we have our issues, but ultimately we are family. God bless my brother, Rule Britannia indeed 🇬🇧

I was across the road at the Proms in the Park event in Hyde Park that night in 2012 and you can take it from me the atmosphere in the park was incredible and to be part of 40,000 people all singing with one voice is something I'll never forget. I don't think I've ever been more proud to be British than I was on that night.
2012 great year for being British with the olympics
This should be yhe ENGLISH NATIONAL ATHEM but some snowflake idiots out there have said you can't show that ENGLISH FLAG it's racist?? 🤯 Yup absolutely unbelievable..SMH
Wonderful to see the respect shown during the national anthem. No hooting,, whistling or other idiot, boorish behavior.
You obviously do not know the tradition of the Proms.The prominadors are expected to make those noises!
I was just gratified to see people showing some appropriate respect for once rather than having to endure another display of tiresome, class-less hooting and yelling from a bunch of self-absorbed adolescents off their meds.
You obviously don't know what you are talking about.I did try to explain!
I am so very, very, very grateful for your pompous, condescending, know-it-all comment. The only thing you've "explained" is what a tiresome, superior ass you are.
Michael White I am stating the facts.You are just ignorant!
This beautiful hymn proves you don’t have to be English to love England. Every time I hear it tears form in my eyes❤🇺🇸🇬🇧
❤
You Americans love to claim British ancestry ..such a shame you aren’t though… 🤷♀️🏴🇬🇧
Amen.
The best thing about this video is that it's a celebration of Britain that is not limited to only Britain. We can see the flags of so many other nations present at the Proms, people from all over the world are joining in song and revelry. It's not a jingoistic power fantasy of blind nationalism, it's a glorious tribute to the spectacle of Britannia by people from all corners and lands of the Earth - all united in their love of our great nation
Yes, and I find it heartwarming to see flags of the Commonwealth, USA, and Europe over the years.
Being an Englishman - this is my anthem. I will hold out the hand of friendship to all that want to walk with me. Share our values, and you will be forever British.

Like most of the British hymns, the sheer majesty of the music carries me into a transfiguration. I'm an American, but my affection for our greatest friends knows no bounds. Every time I hear this song, I long for England and wish to return there.
Thank you Larry, I reciprocate the affection you clearly hold for the English to our American cousins. I hold the values of your constitution in great esteem.

Panzerkampfwagen V Panther A They've been in Britain for over a thousand years, and besides, the Celts invaded too. What's more, but the English and various celts of the island all share DNA from the original settlers of the isles, before the ocean levels had risen.
