When the Queen passes...

Will our national anthem change completely, or will the words just change to God Save The King?

In today's society it could be toaster. Will defo be king.

It already has as it was always god save the king.

 

[London_Boro]

Was a genuine question. Didn't really know whether it would be a completely new/different anthem altogether tbh. Thanks.

What do you mean, 'when'?

 

[TeaCider]

I do hope we change it to something that represents the nation going forwards, but I imagine there'll be a reluctance on that front for a long while, to avoid looking disrespectful in the aftermath of the Queen's death.

Keep it as a royal anthem, and give the UK a national anthem, give England a different one at the same time.

It changes depending on the monarch.

 

[Jedi boro]

It changes depending on the monarch.

Isn’t it the only anthem that does change for that reason.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

It changes depending on the monarch.

So if it had been Edward next?

I could be totally wrong here, but Tonga's national anthem is "Song of the King". I think it's the only other anthem that can potentially change.

Oh, I see what you've done there. Nice....

 

[Scrug]

Hopefully it’ll be the end of the monarchy.

 

[Malaguena]

She won't "pass" - she'll die, just like everybody else

What do you mean? If it was someone called Edward it would be god save the king. If it was someone called Edwina it would be god save the queen.

What do you mean? If it was someone called Edward it would be god save the king. If it was someone called Edwina it would be god save the queen.

If it was Andrew it would be god save the nonce

I get it, some people don't like The Queen/Monarchy. This was a simple question about our national anthem not a request for people's thoughts on her dying.

Cheers.

The current one is like a dirge. Must be something better.

There are some sad utter cúnts on this place. Someone is about to die and this place erupts with disturbing comments, We are all born to die and some are born into a job they probably don't want but give some respect for fúcks sake

If they dont want the job they could always give it up. King Charles next the man's an utter loon and a nasty git to boot if that doesn't tell you there's something wrong with this country nothing will

Now's not the time folks. Just leave it.
