Great to see that you show such respect to the anthem. You're such a gentleman.
I agree Joel shows respect.
Wtf
Just to show the other naughty side to the Queen - at Charles and Camilla's wedding party she had to make a speech but no-one could see her so she climbed onto a table and did it there. Her sense of humor is one of the reasons she's loved so much.
The same party where she jabbed Stephen Fry in the ribs and asked if anyone was going to get her a piece of the cake
@@TheGarryq - I just watched a clip a few days ago of Stephen Fry on QI telling that story. He likes to spin a good yarn but I really want that one to be true because it's such a brilliant story. The other one is Giles Brandreth (another bon mot who tells a good story) who spent a short while in a senior role in the Treasury and claims to have been counter-signing a cheque with the Queen for £36 billion and said to her, "Which one of us, Ma'am, do you think the Government doesn't entirely trust?!" Her answer is not reported.
@@brian9731 I could believe the one, not trust is not her. As an American, I trust her more than I trust our own politicians here in the states.
One of the most awesome anthems ever - one of the best renditions was this first one - played at Charles and Diana''s wedding. I am American - I choke up every time I hear it.
So proud to be British and stand for this magnificent anthem.
Me too, but just like the flag of St George, I want it back.
From a royalist Brit, I love her, without doubt our best monarch. She has had so much negativity around herself but manages to deal with it with grace and humanity 🇬🇧
God save the Queen and long may she reign!
I think that Britain's best monarchs have all been queens--Elizabeth l, Elizabeth ll and Victoria .
@@jeffreythornton428 True
@Ethan S excuse me he's right our best monarchs were female the men can't handle the fire
As a brit that didn't keep up with or care much about the royal family I loved our Queen
I'm proud that she served for 70 years for her people... we will miss her ... rest in peace beautiful soul 😔
When I was young, the cinemas used to play the national anthem at the end of every film show. As the credits began to roll, you would make a bolt for the exit, but if the first bars started to play before you'd made it through the doors, you'd have to stand to attention till it finished. I doubt anyone would do that now!
I remember thsoe days so well. But now - heading through my 8th decade - I know just how lucky we
are to live in a country that can allow that sort of thing and not feel threatened. And I'm sure that HM
would smile serenely, knowing the real value and purpose of her role. Long live The Queen!
When I was young, presumably before YOU, no one rushed out. At the end of the film
everyone stood respectfully while it was played. We also said prayers at school every morning
and sang the national anthem on special occasions. We were also given Union Jacks and
marched in lines around the playground on St. Georges Day ! I think there has been a quite
deliberate attempt to dampen our patriotism. It is still there when roused, but for how long now ?
omg i just broke into tears when i saw the queen mother. what a woman she was xx
As someone who's now in his late 50s and only ever known it as God save the Queen. It's going to be so strange and weird when the Queen dies and Prince Charles ascends the throne as King at the moment of his mother's passing, meaning from that moment on the anthem changes to God save the King.
Do you think it should be Charles or after the remarrying he should abdicate (I know he's been waiting decades for it, though) for William?
Yes I'm a similar age and have only ever known the Queen and as the next three heirs are males it may be a while before anyone sings Queen again once the day comes for her to pass. Even if a royalist or not things will change such as our coins, bank notes, stamps etc.
Im 31 and it will be very strange and emotional.
As some one who first learnt God save the king it took a little time to remember to change to queen.
@@jacquiemoppett2391 Respect
I love our National Anthem. Usually only the first vesre is played, very simple, straight to the point and, unlike lots of others, short!!
This young man who presents these videos, I think, represents all that is good in the American Younger Generation. One's hope for the world is somewhat restored.
That was a great video. Thanks jps for the respect you always show to our country. I hope you know how much many of us here respect America as well. You are a credit to your country. 🇬🇧🇺🇲
Wow! This was a fantastic video. I always considered our anthem a bit dreary but after watching this and your awesome reaction, it really fired up my emotions! Proud to be English and British.
Its only dreary when it is not sung properly ! Of course, the Victorian sentiments may sound
out of date today, but it is a reminder of the past, Empire, and the fact that we once ruled
a huge amount of the world. All from these small islands.
Us brits are a strange bunch. You don't see the union flag hanging off people's houses or hear us boasting about the country very often. In order to be regarded as a hero one has to have done something extraordinarily courageous & not just someone who dose a moderately dangerous job. But if anyone tries to invade us or do us harm we will be their worst nightmare. I am proud to be a brit, but I don't shout about it. Great reaction dude. ✌
We're the finest warriors in the world 🇬🇧
You summed us up splendidly
Great reaction video and must admit I get quite emotional whenever I hear this. It will be so sad when she is gone, she's all that I've ever known in my lifetime. God save the Queen!
Your comment reminds me of that scene in the film "Goodbye Mr Chips" (starring Robert Donat) when
the two schoolboys talked about how strange ot would be to have a king, following the death of Queen
Victoria - after so long on the throne
That day has come. 😥
Rest easy now, Your Majesty.
I might be biased being a Brit but I don’t think any country does pomp and pageantry as well as Brits!
No doubt about it! ♥
100%. Many try but can't get it just right 😶🏴🇬🇧
The ussr dud okay but not compared to this
god save the queen is a French song written for the Sun King and then translated into English.
No nobody does it like the brits
Thank you. Yes I think it is one of the few National anthems that is a prayer. Majority of British people love Her Majesty as I do. The older I get the more I feel very proud to have her as our Monarch. She is very humble because she knows she is just a figure head.
😆 😅 😂 🤣
Gives me Special Relationship Feels that our Yank friend here is so respectful to the Mother Country!
Call me old fashioned but I actually shed a tear listening to that, our national anthem, but that could be because I am currently in mourning myself
Me too!
Same
Always look on the bright side of life Terry
@@louicoleman2910 good advice sir, Monty Python said it best
Yup, me too.
It’s lovely that you take such interest in the UK but please know how much respect we have for America too. It’s so wholesome when different nations can honour each other.
You’re such a lush person Joel & I wish you all the luck & love in the world. 💗
We make fun of you guys, you make fun off us, but at the end of the day we're all just joking around. I see a lot of British people saying that the hate the States and even see a lot of Americans say the hate the UK. It's sad.
@@Yash-lx5xr In my experience, people only make fun of those they like and merely ignore those they don’t!!
We also sang this in the Commonwealth, usually at specific ceremonies, at The Royal Canadian Legion, etc. We love our Queen of 🇨🇦
I'm so glad I discovered your channel, so great seeing your perspective on stuff I take for granted as a Brit. Keep up the fantastic work 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Great reaction and respect from you . I am just old enough to remember the anthem being played on tv just before tv stations ended broadcasting for the night , I also remember some theatres playing the anthem at the end of a performance . I am sure I am in a minority but in away it is a shame the anthem is not played as much as it used to be in daily life .
You are not on your own Martin.
It's still played every night on BBC Radio 4 just after the Shipping Forecast and before the 1am news, after which R4 goes over to the World Service.
OZ here may God save our beloved Elizabeth
I wouldn't say I'm patriotic to be honest but I do have an enormous amount of respect for our Queen...she has been very solid and strong in the face of so many twists and turns along her path. She's also been very loyal and steadfast in her service to our country and other countries in the commonwealth. I have appreciated her strength of character and I think her committment to the country as a whole cannot be underestimated.
It tickles me, as a much older Englishman, that this stirs you so. I likewise, love your anthem.
Beautiful video mate! Appreciate your interest in the United Kingdom, my beautiful country!
A nation or Kingdom of countries! 👍🇬🇧
Well the Star Spangled Banner is an old British tune but your words lol.
It is such a majestic anthem. Now it is time to sing God Save Our King. May Queen Elizabeth II rest in peace. 🇬🇧🏴
Thank you for being so good about our national anthem and Her Majesty. She is a great lady and wonderful servant of the nation and I'm proud to call her my Queen. Perhaps you could complete your review of our patriotic songs by looking at the hymn Jerusalem and the unofficial English national anthem Land Of Hope And Glory. They should be easy to find, look up last night of the proms.
god save the queen is a French song written for the Sun King and then translated into English.
Elgar's pomp and circumstance march number 1, is a nice tune but the lyrics not so good!
I am Australian. Until 1974 God Save the Queen was our National Anthem then it changed to Advance Australia Fair. Until I watched your clip I didn't know there was a second verse so I have learned something. When I was in primary school every class room had a portrait of the queen on the wall. Things have changed a lot and I often doubt if it was for the better.
Thre are 4 verses
@@madabbafan thank you for that information. We were certainly ripping off Her Majesty weren't we? I will do a search for the lyrics. I am and always have been a royalist. Some years ago we had a ballot here to try for a republic. I voted against it and will continue to do so if it comes again.
I love seeing such long reverence and respect for a woman in power. As an American, I hope to live to see the day when we have more females in the top levels of our government, including President.
God Save the Queen was always played after the film ended in the cinema when I was young. The audience (mostly) stood up for it before leaving.
Another patriotic British song to check out is, “land of hope and glory” last night at the proms
It’s not British it’s English. Not liked anywhere but England I’m afraid.
Thanks for featuring their anthem! I do love it. As a practicing (I'll get it right some day!) Christian, i pray it! These days i especially pray that the old dear is 'happy'. I can see that she' nailed the other items-----victorious, glorious, long-to-reign....i hope her life is blessed with happiness and joy! She has been such a blessing to her own people....and to many of us Yanks who have few leaders who try to bring us together!
I was one of the trumpeters shown at 1:47. It was during The Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977 and the Trumpeters were selected from the Royal Military School of Music Kneller Hall.
I scrolled through your videos a while back and was surprised you hadn’t reacted to this yet! I agree that God Save the Queen is one hell of a National Anthem! I have listened to it thousands of times and hundreds of versions! It is one of my top five favorite songs…PERIOD! I just love it! I even have it as the ringtone on my iPhone 😂 . I loved how you started getting emotional while listening to it, I get the same way when ever I hear a very well done version of it.
And, even as an American, when I am watching something on tv or online and they play it, for example at Prince Philip’s funeral, I always stand out of respect for the British people and of course for Her Majesty the Queen! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Our collective voices seem to have been heard. She's still going and long may she stay with us. Can't imagine what would be the nation's grief when she's no longer with us. Long live the Queen. Of course, when Charles takes her place, our national anthem will change, obviously. Don't know many other national anthems that do.
This has me in floods of tears. I know patriotism can be a bit of a dirty word, but watching this has made me feel so proud to be British. Our amazing history and the wonderful woman who is our Queen. And the respect that so many people have for her. Thank you too, Joel, for your reaction. I think you're an Honorary Brit!!!
god save the queen is a French song written for the Sun King and then translated into English.
Nothing wrong with patriotism, despite what those who hate our country say- particularly those in our country.
thanks for this jps, I am amazed such a young guy is even interested ! I love to hear the 2nd verse which we dont often enough - great words. One day it will be God save the King ? All my life she has been Queen, it will be strange to hear God save the King. But it isnt about the person (although this Queen has been exemplary) but it is really God save the top representative of the Monarchy, and wishing them well in their endeavours to represent the Monarchy and do good for this country.
Thank you for your beautiful presentation and the honour and respect you show. In Australia we used to sing 'God Save the Queen' at morning assembly. It's the Queen's 70th anniversary of her reign this year. I wish that I could be there to participate in the celebrations.
Rip your majesty Queen Elizabeth 💝💝💝💝🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
God save the Queen indeed good sir! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I hope she lives out the rest of her life as comfortably and majestically as she deserves.
I'm from Britain so thank you for being very respectful towards me
Portuguese by birth and British by choice ,and bloody loving it !
God save our Queen.
Bro you are definitely a born again Brit!
RIP Queen Elizabeth
- You will be missed..
🙏🕊🕊🕊
I'm very patriotic and love our Queen. I love our traditions and to see them through your eyes is a lovely feeling. Im so glad you enjoy seeing them. X
The UK National Anthem was adopted in September 1745; 276 years ago, before the Revolutionary War against the parent country in the American Colonies.
the UK wasn't formed until 1801. I think you meant Great Britain.
The British National anthem! 🇬🇧
Brings,..tears to my eyes....very majestic and proud...love it ,powerful.
every time I hear the Anthem make me feel so proud to be British, but also so proud to have the queen. as most brits see her as the mother of the nation. her tireless devotion to us all and our country make us proud we still have a monarchy .
I always have a lump in my throat whenever I sing the National Anthem. I'm sure every patriotic Briton feels the same. As someone who is honoured to have been presented to both Her Majesty and the late Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh every time I sing the National Anthem I remember that day as if it were yesterday. Such an effect it had on me.
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 King.
Hear, hear!
god save the queen is a French song written for the Sun King and then translated into English.
My goodness, that was awesome!...and I'm part Irish. lol etc
Did you know america had an anthem to the same tune called "my country tis of thee" before the use of star spangled banner
I learnt the second verse as a girl guide back in the 50S and remember every word, we always stood up at home at the national anthem, our queen has been a constant all my life, the world will be a sad place when she passes, god save her.
I get very emotional when I hear it, that and 'the last post', always get to me!
Plus 'Abide With Me', and the one that truly has me sobbing - the movement of Elgar's 'Nimrod' that's always played at Remembrance Sunday services.
Love to see you so touched by such a great anthem!
Lovely reaction.💕
Easily the best National Anthems on Earth.
Simple powerful and so wholesome.
A whole nation begging their diety to preserve their monarch in all their grace.
Awesome.
god save the queen is a French song written for the Sun King and then translated into English.
If you want to be moved, listen to Benjamin Britten's version - makes you reflect on never knowing anyone as monarch other than The Queen. You'd need to be in your late 70s to remember singing 'God Save The King'.

I just flipped across and watched that, now I have a lump in my throat and tearful eyes. What a great lady. Hitler once described The Queen Mother as the most dangerous woman in the world. A reference to the fact that she was such a support to King George VI that this country's moral throughout the second world war was unshakable.
Thanks JP a lovely video ...
Lovely choice; thank you for picking this; many blessings to you-- :)
God Bless Her Majesty!
Wow, that was great!!! I never knew the words, now I do! Thank you
The melody is used by the Americans for the patriotic song ' ' Tis of thee I sing'.
Back in the days when the BBC TV channels shut down at the end of the night the national anthem was the last thing they played
It might have already been mentioned, but it’s also the national anthem to New Zealand, and the Royal anthem in all the commonwealth countries. Litchenstein also use the same tune, but different lyrics. It’s also known as ‘God Save the King’ when the UK has a male monarch. The song dates from 1745 and is both British and American! In the 1930’s when the USA chose ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ as it’s national anthem, it very nearly chose ‘My County ‘Tis of Thee’ which uses the same tune! So we could have had matching national anthems!
Not sure if you're aware JPS but the American National Anthem is actually a very old British Drinking Song! So not only does it compare or rival your National Anthem; by sheer being and provenance, it knocks yours out of the park lol. Just saying. A very proud Brit! Just teasing darlin. Thank you for being respectful to us. You're a gentleman.
Really ? Didnt know that !
@@jilla.1246 Yep, it’s called to anacreon in heaven
“Hail to the Chief” is also a British tune..
What you listened to is the full anthem, we usually only sing the first part at events
Well Done again mate, Nice Video of God Save The Queen, & God Bless you too! 🇬🇧⭐👍
When the London Olympics were held the Queen did a sketch with 007...James Bond(Daniel Craig)hilarious
You seem to genuinely love other countries, your own of course included, I think what makes us proud and patriotic is the way we do pomp and circumstance, we’re at our best, but you’re so young to give other countries respect and I for one and I’m sure a lot of other Brits appreciate it. Thank you very much, you’re the sort of person who will always be welcomed in this country.
You should watch her Coronation.
Hi Jp I’m British and I wanted to tell you that the coronation of our King Charles lll is on Saturday 6th May 2023. Thought you may want to do another video on it. Thank you for your wonderful videos, I’m very appreciative x
We can put on a good show ! We Brits are very quietly reserved when it comes to publicly declaring
our love of country and its history etc. But it IS THERE when needed to be pulled out !
My absolute favourite arrangement of this is the one sang at Charles and Diana's wedding, by David Willcocks.
It is now God save the King
She is a beacon of dedication to her country and her people and is respected all around the world.I love her.
Interesting fact: only 20% of the UK population were born before the Queen's reign, basically hardly any of us can remember having a King. When she passes away i will be so strange in lots of ways including changing the anthem because it's so linked to her personally more than to the institution itself. Joel also had post on I Vow to Thee My Country and this was suggested as an alternative anthem. I'm not in favour of change for the sake of it but maybe it would be appropriate to have an anthem for the nation itself (or England, as Scotland and Wales have their own) and keep GSTQ for the UK overall and/or use it as a sort of monarch's anthem - like Hail to the Chief in the USA is used for the president.
Take your point but In the interests of unity maybe not the right moment.
@@jilla.1246 "In the interests of unity", when will it be "the right moment" to have that discussion?
Oh yes... "never", apparently. This is why we're still stuck in a country that thinks Old Etonians make the best Prime Ministers.
The moment Betty Brenda pegs out, we should start having that discussion, and Charles can rule over whatever's left a year later.
Joel , thanks for taking such an interest in all things British !
It is also the Royal Anthem of Norway and a few other monarchies. It was originally the Royal Anthem of Prussia and then the Imperial German Anthem.
god save the queen is a French song written for the Sun King and then translated into English.
Great video Joel & I love our UK 🇬🇧 national anthem. Loving your content every day & the videos you produce are quality. Keep up the great work 👍. Much love from Somerset, England, UK 🇬🇧.
Thee ruby in the Queen's crown once belonged to the Black Prince."The Black Prince's Ruby is actually a glowing red uncut spinel which has been owned by the British Royal Family since 1367. The gem was named after the 'Black Prince', Edward of Woodstock, Prince of Wales, and is one of the oldest of gems included in the Royal Collection of Crown Jewels. It currently sits in the cross pattee at the front of the Imperial State Crown, just above the Lesser Star of Africa, also known as The Cullinan II, one the largest polished diamonds in the world.
Fine red spinel is actually considered to be rarer than ruby in occurrence and can often be even more valuable. The Black Prince's Ruby is the one of the world's largest uncut red spinel gems, with an estimated weight of 170 carats and a length of almost 5 centimeters. The Black Prince's Ruby is slightly polished to bring out its luster and has been worked into a bead shape. It was previously drilled, strung and worn as a pendant and various other forms of jewelry before being placed in the Imperial Crown where it can be seen today. Through close observation, it can be seen that the small drilled hole has been plugged with a smaller ruby." I hope you found this interessting.
Thank you for watching this Joel, it shows people that there is more than one verse to our National Anthem. I must admit Joel that I am partial to your National Anthem also. Lyd x
Love this. And yes, you are a gentleman and a credit to your family!
A friend and I gave concerts (violin and guitar) in Churches all over the South-East of the US some years back. At the start of the concert we would play both national anthems, UK then US. Everyone stood and displayed a profound and totally unaffected respect for both. But when they all joined with the Star Spangled Banner it was just wonderful. A genuinely moving and emotional experience every time. I love being English and after years of travelling wouldn't want to live anywhere else. But I love the US and the Americans I have met very much too.
Thank you for deepening the special bond between our nations with your lovely videos. May God bless you and the USA and the UK!
I’m so proud to be British and so proud of our beautiful Queen 👸🏻 long May she reign Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Lucky because I am british and on the jubilee my whole school sang to our gracious queen
I love our queen. So glad to be British
And all those shots of the ORIGINAL Red, White & Blue! 😉🇬🇧🇺🇸
I get goosebumps when I hear this
Well done young man for your respectful post..
To be fair, my smart and courteous young friend, your own national anthem is pretty damn good too. God bless the UK and the USA
Royalty shouldn't work in this day and age but it does for us for some reason.
There are five or six verses of the complete anthem - most people know the first verse, a few people know the last verse (the second in the video). The others contain lines about confounding knavish tricks and avoiding the assassin's blow and scattering our enemies.
It's going to be very weird when the Queen inevitable dies (hopefully not for years yet), and it becomes God Save the King again.
God save the Queen and long live our great monarchy 🇬🇧
Joel - A video that epitomises the British (and particularly Scottish) traditions was the Funeral pipes at the Queen Mothers funeral. This video (recorded by a member of the public) is amazing that it captures the pomp, mourning and traditions of the Queen Mother as a Scottish Lassie. A quite amazing video with amazing sound (not so much video quality) well worth your time reacting to. czcams.com/video/DX05mATrOmQ/video.html
That gave me goose bumps
GSTQ 💙
We take our anthem very seriously, as I’m sure you do yours, and it was great to see you hold so much respect for it!
God Bless Her Majesty 👌🇬🇧❤️❤️
