@@tidritblag9877 Not only is she not necessarily that much of an expense since the crown lands well negates the monarchy's cost, she acts as a figurehead as well as boosting tourism. God save our gracious queen, long live our noble queen, god save the queen.
This anthem is by far the most beautiful and powerful ever written and is absolutely fitting for Her Majesty the most beautiful and gracious Queen in history. I love the portrait of her all alone in St. George's chapel toward the beginning. I've never seen that painting before.... beautiful! It makes me sad to think that in the near future she will leave this world 🌎. It's Mind-blowing to realize most people alive today have never lived in a world where she wasn't Queen. I believe she is one of the few people in history that when she dies there will be a great shift in the world and it's future. She's the one that goes on and on. She is the constant. I can't imagine a world without her. Nor do I want to. 😔 God save this beautiful and humble Queen as long as possible.
It will be a very sad day when Her Majesty The Queen inevitably passes away. She is so beloved by the British people and around the world, it would be like the planet just lost our grandmother. Long live The Queen!!!
@@TheLongDon I really don’t care if I’m an American who supports Britain, I love the country, if you don’t like it, more power to you, but never shame anyone for loving it
I believe that the Queen herself would be the first to say it - the song is not about an old lady doing her job - it's not about her at all - it's about her people, a great nation - a nation she is proud to serve. As an American, I must admit, I'm very fond of the old gal.
I fully accept your reasoning. It's just my thought, poorly worded, perhaps, that when she hears that song, she thinks not of herself but her country. As I said before, I'm very fond of her. So are many, many other Americans. Best wishes!!! Oh, I have an awful time distinguishing between "your majesty," and "your highness." If I ever got the chance to talk to her, I don't know what I'd say.
She is not a parasite! The Royal Family exists as a living symbol of a nation. They are there because an entire nation WANTS them to be there. Are you going to suggest that the British cannot have their queen?
@Gus Warren Do you not see how vile that is? You dont see that she should get the position just because she was born into it, ok. But you are happy to wish her dead because of eho she happened to be born as. Perhaps you are just jealous.
I'll be 70 years old this year. Elizabeth II has been the only English Monarch I have ever known. Even though I am an American and do not wish to live under a Queen, when she is gone I will feel sorrowful. She is a rather Grand Lady.
It's not that bad, truth to tell I prefer it to a republic, having an aristocracy seems more honest somehow. There will always be people who are placed above the rest of us, and any choice the public thinks it has is very heavily diluted by the process. Also, heads of state of republics cost their tax payers more I believe, because they don't have their own ancestral lands to live off. So the taxpayer must fund the dignity that any head of state must maintain to be taken seriously. The rich will always laud it over the rest of us because their money gives them the power to do that, and that's human nature. Since we're stuck with an elite, I reckon we might as well make something of it. So I say long live the Queen, the monarchy, and even the house of lords. :)
I’ll be turning 20 in 8 months. Hard to believe this and I very nearly died 19 years ago and I couldn’t have made it to almost 20. Cannot believe I’ve made 2 decades
Proud of what? Some ancient history? England and Canada are losing their culture to Globalization/Marxism. Yet Great Britain has a respite with Brexit. Still, seems like nearly half of the population did not want to leave. Bring back an Elizabeth 1.
Stephen Haws That’s the point. The monarchy is one of the few wholly sacrosanct institution left in this country. It’s the one thing that the Marxists have yet to touch. And God as my witness they’ve destroyed enough already, and I’ll be damned if they destroy anything else
@@Edmonton-of2ec amen to that. While the Crown and our constitutional monarchy is in many ways a very delicate and vulnerable institution, to attack it is seen as almost treasonous and a big political no no.

The greatest countries that were in the Commonwealth are indrpendent pendent for a long time now. The Commonwealth is a complete shame because it reminds everyone of one of the darkest eras in european history. England and other european never had the right to invade other countries or to exploit them. And it was never their right to rule over them. All those european countries did was to enslave the people originated in those countries, bringing illness and death over them. As a german I'm part of the european people, but Im ashamed that english people are even proud of the Commonwealth. I can't stand that kind of people.
The Commonwealth is hardly a shame. It is a model for international interaction. It is impressive to see how an Empire could end without nearly as much Stum und Drang as usually happens when empires collapse. British and even more specifically English Legal Tradition offers some of the highest principles of our species. The Concept of Commonwealth is a decent model for other powers which are too overgrown to be viable. Think if China utilized this concept with Taiwan, Tibet, Hong Kong, and Uiguristan/Xingiang. I am not sure it is a reminder of Colonialism/Imperialism (not that we should forget it). It is a way to take what was useful from European contact and apply it without dark aspects of Imperialism. All that having been said- I wonder if it isn't time to farm that family out. There are more than 15 Commonwealth Realms. Separate the inheritance of the various crowns, thus forming cadet lines, so that any perception that the UK is still somehow the Imperial Center of this entity can dissipate.
kitiowa I can see your point. But what was it other than colonialism? America got it´s independence for some reason. They suffered until they decided to go for their independence. Your point is a bit invalid because it´s like you are saying the roman empire was great (and sure it was for all they invented and culture and so on) but on the other hand, they were brutal and merciless. Same with England
and the U.s are an aggressive country. Bagged Hawaii out of greed etc. The U.S. are aggressive to this very day. And let's not forget: the only country that detonated nuclear bombs in anger and killed about 200.000 people in seconds.

The arrangement is by the late Sir David Willcocks, one of the giants of English choral music in the 20th century and a consummate composer, church musician, and gentleman. It was written for the wedding of Prince Charles and then Lady Diana Spencer at St. Paul’s Cathedral in 1981. I think it’s the finest and most spine-tingling version of the National Anthem ever written, but sadly, I don’t believe it has ever been used again since that first performance, probably because of its association with the ill-fated marriage.
Mark Laubach Yes indeed. Sir David Wilcocks is also famous for his arrangement for the final verse of "O Come, All Ye Faithful", (Yea, Lord we greet Thee...). I love pulling all the stops and playing his version every Christmas Eve.
I always though that too until Willcocks' death in 2015 when I remember reading in one of his obituaries that the Queen wasn't a fan of this version which is why it was never used at state occasions after the 1981 wedding.
For pure spine tingling I suggest absolutely nothing can approach the anthem sung to her for the first time as crowned and anointed monarch in Westminster Abbey in June, 1953 when she was but 26. Glorious. Stunning. As was she on that day.
This arrangement was used here I believe because the wedding of Prince Charles, being the heir apparent, was a full state occasion. Since Prince William was not the heir apparent at the time of his wedding, his wedding was not a full state occasion and hence they did not sing the two verses of national anthem and this version would not have been used.
As of my Irish ancestry I'm not a big fan of the English Crown. Having said that I have an immense respect and affection for both George VI and Elizabeth II. They were thrust into the monarchy and have served with grace and dignity. God Save the Queen.
@@tucoselby she was a mechanic during the war..quite interesting at that the royal family all took on civilian jobs due to the shortage of manpower available
Yes, from st Paul’s in 82. And written by the peerless legend that was Sir David Willcocks. GENIUS! Such a great man, great musician and great human being.

@@oneilbuchanan8377 No. Modernity doesn't make sense with these matters. It is a nonsense. William is super attached to tradition, so don't expect big changes from him, and that's for the better
I, whose youth was passed in the august, unchallenged, and tranquil glories of the Victorian era, may well feel a thrill in invoking once more the prayer and the anthem: "God Save the Queen!" - Winston Churchill Feb 1952 at the end of his Tribute speech of mourning for the death of King George VI. (It will change once again when The Queen dies...to God Save the King.)
The United States hopefully will always have strong ties to the United Kingdom, our motherland. Queen Elizabeth is the epitome of grace and dignity. There will never be another Monarch quite like her!!

I agree! This Sir David Willcocks arrangement of the monarchy’s National Anthem is the best I’ve ever heard. That it was used only for the ill-fated marriage of Prince Charles and the beloved Diana Spencer is enough reason alone to repeat it at Prince Charles’ coronation - as a reminder to us all of the wrong done her by the Royal Family.
i have to say that the UK's national anthem gives me goose bumps...its so rousing and poweful...yet i am not British but i love the National Anthem GOD SAVE THE KING ...May The late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll Rest In Peace...God bless Her Majesty...
With the Queen’s Jubilee year in mind, this is a great song to hear! I’m an American who supports monarchies! It’s a pity that USA isn’t a part of the British Commonwealth! God Save the Queen!
She is the Queen of the World when she gave that speech last year about the pandemic she was talking to the world and the world listened. Here in the US I know many that were inspired by that speech from anything our Moron President said. God Save the Queen.

It almost makes me want to be British. RIGHT or not, HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN HAS BEEN, IS SEEN IN MY EYES AS A MOST AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, AND STATELY ROYAL NATIONAL TREASURE! I feel most fortunate to have lived during HER REIGN and always enjoy the British National Anthem!!
Yes, you're right. The Royal anthem of GOD Save the Queen that I've heard is The BEST rendition that I've ever heard.
From BOGOTA and thou I'm not British I wish to say: GOD SAVE THE QUEEN AND MAY SHE LIVE FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER. She is the most admired person on the whole planet and I may add the most loved too. We all admire you, like you and we all love you your Majesty the Queen
Jose Maria Gutierrez you will be soon enough
Tears of happiness
My Favorite Anthem of all time , GOD SAVE THE QUEEN , MAY THE QUEEN LIVE FOREVER !

@@borekybar3848 No wonder you dont like the queen. Still sore about the war?
I am 75% german and 25% British..but my Heart is British....and I wished, our noble Queen Elizabeth, could live forever...cause she was always there and as a little boy, I watched along with Granny Trooping the Colour
Thank You God , For The REIGN of This Great Woman !!!....Your Mighty Hand Sustained Her In This World with Royal Dignity And Grace ! May She Now Behold You Face To Face !!!...
As an american, from every mountain side let freedom ring.
Hello Amber, how are you doing?
The arrangement is by the late Sir David Willcocks, one of the giants of English choral music in the 20th century and a consummate composer, church musician, and gentleman. It was written for the wedding of Prince Charles and then Lady Diana Spencer at St. Paul’s Cathedral in 1981. I think it’s the finest and most spine-tingling version of the National Anthem ever written, but sadly, I don’t believe it has ever been used again since that first performance, probably because of its association with the ill-fated marriage.
Mark Laubach Yes indeed. Sir David Wilcocks is also famous for his arrangement for the final verse of "O Come, All Ye Faithful", (Yea, Lord we greet Thee...). I love pulling all the stops and playing his version every Christmas Eve.
I prefer the Benjamin Britton, quiet and reflective.
I always though that too until Willcocks' death in 2015 when I remember reading in one of his obituaries that the Queen wasn't a fan of this version which is why it was never used at state occasions after the 1981 wedding.
For pure spine tingling I suggest absolutely nothing can approach the anthem sung to her for the first time as crowned and anointed monarch in Westminster Abbey in June, 1953 when she was but 26. Glorious. Stunning. As was she on that day.
This arrangement was used here I believe because the wedding of Prince Charles, being the heir apparent, was a full state occasion. Since Prince William was not the heir apparent at the time of his wedding, his wedding was not a full state occasion and hence they did not sing the two verses of national anthem and this version would not have been used.
As of my Irish ancestry I'm not a big fan of the English Crown. Having said that I have an immense respect and affection for both George VI and Elizabeth II. They were thrust into the monarchy and have served with grace and dignity. God Save the Queen.
God save the Queen
I am not British but wowed that The Queen a WWII hero is still strong and proud
A WWII hero???
@@tucoselby you got a problem with that??? Go read a history book
@@markfahley2152 No problem just wondered what you meant by WWII hero??
You do realise she wasn't Queen during WWII?
@@tucoselby she was a mechanic during the war..quite interesting at that the royal family all took on civilian jobs due to the shortage of manpower available
Yes, from st Paul’s in 82. And written by the peerless legend that was Sir David Willcocks. GENIUS! Such a great man, great musician and great human being.
All Hail Great Britain and her Majesty Queen II from from your centuries-old enemies from Russia.
Im a royalist through and through. The queen holds a very special place in our hearts here in the United Kingdom. God save our queen.
Through and through? Does that mean that even your stomach, kidneys, bowels etc are royal?
@@matthewdavid8514 are you really that sad that when you clearly hate the Queen you are going on every comment spreading negativity? If you hate the Queen so much why are you even on this video? Get a life
@@seantheblue1606 I don't hate anyone. I am however totally in favor of social inclusion and protection of people. I just find the institution of a monarchy in any country pointless and absurd in a modern era when we are trying to promote equality. Hence the sarcasm.
@@matthewdavid8514 well you aren't British so how we run our country isn't your business. The British people love the Queen
@@seantheblue1606 And neither is your make-believe Royal Family! They're more German than English or didn't you actually know that? The jokes on you people. And she isn't ubiquitously admired. Thats what the conservative gov would have you believe. Sean...? That sounds like an Irish name to me. You prob aren't even British yourself. Schöne Grüsse aus Deutschland.
Amazing rendition. Love and respect to the queen.. From Nepal❤️
I'll really be sad when she would pass. May you live long, Your Majesty!
Great changes lay ahead upon her passing . Many traditions will be discontinued as the monarchy evolves to be more modern .
@@oneilbuchanan8377 No. Modernity doesn't make sense with these matters. It is a nonsense. William is super attached to tradition, so don't expect big changes from him, and that's for the better
@@matthewdavid8514 Thank you, that's really nice of you.
I hope she passes her mothers age
Dam it still feels so weird 😢
I, whose youth was passed
in the august, unchallenged,
and tranquil glories of the
Victorian era, may well feel a
thrill in invoking once more
the prayer and the anthem:
"God Save the Queen!" - Winston Churchill Feb 1952 at the end of his Tribute speech of mourning for the death of King George VI. (It will change once again when The Queen dies...to God Save the King.)
The United States hopefully will always have strong ties to the United Kingdom, our motherland. Queen Elizabeth is the epitome of grace and dignity. There will never be another Monarch quite like her!!
Very prestigious Lady that I loved so much.takecare and live safe from this crucial Pandemic.budusaranai I am sujeeva from Pearls of the Indian Ocean called Srilanka.
Long live the Queen, long live the Monarchy, long live the Commonwealth and long live the British Empire!!!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (and I’m not even British...)
She was coronated the year I was born. She's the only monarch of England I have ever known.
I'm not from their either but, would love to move there. One day, one day.
Thank you Niel, I remember the Coronation very well, I was 9 at the time. HaHa, but we don't have an Empire any more. What we do have is our wonderful Queen who is proud to be head of the Commonwealth of Nations, many of whom queue up to join this wonderful organisation.
Well then you're not in a position to make any comments about empires you deluded fool
Lovely. Bless Her Majesty. Many thanks for this. With respect, from Philadelphia.
Long live the Monarchy
Yeahhhh
Long may they reign over us
...And the Aristocracy, and the Gentility, and the Commonalty all of whom have all descended from Monarchy, anciently or since and are the Kin for whom the King (whether it be a Queen) as Cyning is Kinsman. Noblesse oblige!
You're right! From an italian monarchist. Long live king Aimone of italy
Beautiful pictures of the Queen.
They say the looks of a person can define a person's character. And I'm not being flattering, Saying you're georgous. hope you don't mind sending me a friend request or if you don't mind just send me a message? God bless you!!!
🇬🇧God Save The Queen. LONG May She Reign.🇬🇧
Was that a Cersei reference?
I'm Italian and think the British flag is the most elegant of all flags
Queen is 94 Years old wish her long life and good health
Bloody proud to be English! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Bloody proud of Earth - Mother of life
Me to
I love everything British. Everytime I hear UK national anthem I feel immense respect for this great nation. God bless the Queen.
we miss you Goodbye, 👑👑🕊🕊🕊❤️❤️❤️
Queen Elizabeth is the absolute epitome of elegance and she has aged so beautifully 🦋🦋🦋
May she defend our laws and ever give us cause to sing with heart and voice: God Save The Queen!
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN... from Australia!
Fuck off from Germany
@@matthewdavid8514 as a German British and Irish heritage I support the monarchy and going around like this is basso idiotic and unkind and if you reply to this you are proving my point so shush and go do something else please and thank you
Consider the thousands of public appearances, some of them difficult, where she is always gracious. She has done her duty beyond measure.
I agree! This Sir David Willcocks arrangement of the monarchy’s National Anthem is the best I’ve ever heard. That it was used only for the ill-fated marriage of Prince Charles and the beloved Diana Spencer is enough reason alone to repeat it at Prince Charles’ coronation - as a reminder to us all of the wrong done her by the Royal Family.
That is really nonsense.
From America: she was so beautiful when younger. That's not to say she isn't still beautiful, but you understand, I hope.
Let's give credit where credit is due - this arrangement was by Sir David Willcocks.
Sir?
i have to say that the UK's national anthem gives me goose bumps...its so rousing and poweful...yet i am not British but i love the National Anthem GOD SAVE THE KING ...May The late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll Rest In Peace...God bless Her Majesty...
God Save The Queen. God Bless Our Royal Family.
Mon Dieu et Mon Droit
With the Queen’s Jubilee year in mind, this is a great song to hear! I’m an American who supports monarchies! It’s a pity that USA isn’t a part of the British Commonwealth! God Save the Queen!
Truly the best collection of photos I’ve ever seen!!👌🏽👌🏽
God save the Queen is a typical example of how the citizens of a given country honours their leader and president.
God Bless Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Long may she reign. God Save the Queen!
She is dead lol
She is as radiant and warming as the sun. Love the mischief evident in her smiling eyes.
I give prayers to your queen my uk brothers god save the Queen and god bless America
She is the Queen of the World when she gave that speech last year about the pandemic she was talking to the world and the world listened. Here in the US I know many that were inspired by that speech from anything our Moron President said. God Save the Queen.
God save the queen.
God bless the queen.
Salute from Indonesia. 🇮🇩🇬🇧
The best empire in the world. Brought civilization to billions..

A version worthy and fitting her most great majesty

THANK YOU FOR POSTING
God Save Queen Elizabeth II, a beacon of strength since taking the throne in 1953.
May She serve and not give the throne to tampon charlie...
Fiji was once a British Colony but now we're a Republic.
BUT till date, she is still referred to as the Queen Of Fiji and Great Britain.❤
I’m not British, Im not even white but I LOVE this anthem. Long live Her Majesty!
@Gabriel Torres and teeth (sorry jk)
A beautiful and classy lady -------- loved by Americans as well as her subjects. She's a divinity.
That's an example of monarchy
"Thaet waes god cyning." -- Beowulf
I can't imagine this is the best I'll ever hear. I really had to struggle to make out the words. Instrumentals are not supposed to drown out vocals!
Yes it's a mass singing thing not a professional performance
It was not a studio recording. It was sung at a performance in concert with orchestra, choirs chorus, and audience participation. Some people sand, some didn’t. For a clearer audio, you might search UTube.
Her majesty : "god save the precious me"
The monarch does not sing the anthem.
What a beautiful and majestic song! It's almost enough to make a monarchist out of me...but not quite!🤔
WHAT A BEAUTIGUL AND MAJESTIC LADY
She is beautiful, the tough little lady, what a responsibility to have. God bless the Queen
Yeah that's get, hi how are you Elisa ?
UK's Legendary Pearl...A site to behold
God save that gracious Queen.. Long may She reign 👑
0:27 it starts here folks
0:54 if you're there for the actual melody and not just the intro drums
Rest In eternal peace Queen Elizabeth II
As an Australian Citizen 🇦🇺 we miss our beloved Majesty Queen Elizabeth II ❤😢 🇬🇧
The queen is so beautiful. I’m not British but I love the National Anthem
Chère Reine Élisabeth. Comme je suis triste , ! ce monde sans votre chère et rassurante présence est un vide infini , veillez sur ce monde votre Majesté
That crown has been on the journey with her for over 70 years of her being the queen!
One does not want to brag, but to be british is simply amazing! I personally love my country and it’s rich history. A plethora of unique structures, long families, some of the best rulers in history, and to think we have accomplished so much in the past millennium or so, however we are quite a small country. Simply amazing and one does feel blessed to be british.
To be born British is to be born with a huge advantage in life
@@keithcaldwell4825 here here! Well said, gentleman
Queen elizbeth your country and all your subjects love you dearly God Save The Queen
With an anthem like that, it seems IMPOSSIBLE that ond day Great Britain turns into a republic
