Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

Nation to choose anthem for Commonwealth Games from
'God Save The Queen' -
'Jerusalem' -
'Land Of Hope And Glory'...
what do you think?
'God Save The Queen' covers the whole of the United Kingdon so maybe one of the others may be more suitable on this occasion...'Land Of Hope And Glory' would be my choice...SF

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

`God Save The Queen` for me for sure..........................:mosher::mosher:

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

Jerusalem for me

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

they should re-release that before it becomes god save the king :)

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

Hmm, tough one.

On balance, I think that God Save The Queen is the more appropriate choice. Land of Hope and Glory is pretty much England's theme.

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

As each country in the UK is seperate for the Commonwealth Games, the Scots will have Scotland the Brave, the Welsh will have Shaun the Sheep, we should have our own, Land of Hope & Glory for me, Jerusalem is too churchy

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

Land of Hope and Glory, very closely followed by Jerusalem

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

Better that 'England' be in the lyrics-
so the chorus from - There'll always be an England

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

So is Jerusalem, and as people would probably sing along to it ... cannot see many people hitting those top notes.. :D

I think maybe Lancsdave could be right that it will be marketed as being in England .. or will it ? Will have to google. If it is, everyone loves 'Land of Hope and Glory'. Otherwise, 'God save the Queen' ... except many religious so and so's may see it as an insult do you think ? Might have to change it to 'Allah save the Queen'.. :D:D

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

Niot sure what you mean but I suspect there are some people confusing Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games. In the Commonwealth games we enter as England, in the Olympic Games we are Great Britain. The Commonwealth games this year are in India

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

It is the Commonwealth Games - as far as I m aware she is still the Queen of the Commonwewalth. Therefore God Save the Queen does seem to be the most appropriate. However, I would still opt for Land of Hope and Glory, very closely followed by Jerusalem. I am English second - Lancastrian first, the Palatine County

i reckon it should be "Money" Barrett Strong, after all its more that than owt.:rolleyes:

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

What about this one.

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

Totally baffled by this post. Which nation to choose?...the host nation? The 2010 games are, as Dave says, in India, so I can't see them choosing any of those. The 2014 Games are in Scotland and the same applies! What are you on about? :confused:

Re: Nation to Choose Anthem for Commonwealth Games
 

Perhaps Grange meant '[Our] nation [is about] to choose [its] anthem for [use in the] Commonwealth Games'?

Of course I could be, and probably am completely wrong.

Any road, given the choice it'd be Land of Hope and Glory for me, as long as there's a rather large suffix of [sic] after the title!
