    As an American, I cannot tell you how many times I have watched / listened to this beautiful British Battle Hymn…and without fail it produces a tear…a tear of pride!! To all the democratic nation’s military men/women and their families, thank you for your service!!!! Also, a special thank you for those service men, who in the words of an American president… we owe so much to those who gave their “last full measure of devotion”. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS!!!!

      Although it's a very British patriotic song written to a slightly changed form of the middle section of Jupiter it never mentions Britain. It's part of what makes it special. Anyone, anywhere can sing it with pride.

      It is especially an incredible song for our country right now, we are all absolutely terrified but also extremely angry for what has befallen our great nation, but we will fight for it, and bring about the fall of Keir Stalin, please beware USA it will come for you, I NEVER thought this would come to my country, but I will fight to the death for it, half scots, half english, patriot through and through, keep an eye on the news sir, it is just disgusting here

    I think the performance of this song must have been especially poignant at this festival because this song is a perfect tribute to not only the armed forces, but to the late Queen. I can’t think of a more accurate description of her than this hymn; I was actually quite disappointed that it wasn't sung at her funeral. She kept the promise she made on her 21st birthday and continued to serve her beloved country up until the very end, even meeting with her last Prime Minister two days before her passing. We will never, ever see anyone like her again. I know she must be smiling down at the King with pride. God bless Queen Elizabeth II, and God Save The King.

That may represent you and your believes but many Brits are not religious and atheism is growing faster than any religion. The national anthem is out dated, objectively.

      Yes, atheism is on the increase as people think they can be a law unto themselves, which probably explains the awful mess it's in!
      If you are not a legally resident UK citizen or an illegal immigrant in the UK, the National anthem has nothing to do with you.

    Like so many others I get goosebumps and emotional when listening to this song , one of my all time favourite. Every self-respecting country honour and remember those who gave there precious life, the ultimate one can give. In the Netherlands we do the same and invite veterans each year to celebrate the fifth of may ( Liberation day) from countries that fought for our liberation The graves of those soldiers are taken care of and adopt of families each personal grave to make sure it’s well looked after. Gratitude is not an act of politeness but from the hart. I hope my story make sense🙏

    I’m American and my best friend is British, I can’t tell you how emotional the story is between our two countries. Two hated enemies in the beginning who eventually overcame the hate and became the closest of brothers, truly an inspiring story of love and unity always being more powerful than hatred and division.

      Thank you. This is one of many songs that the people of my nation have to show our patriotism. We might not be patriotic every time we go out and about. But when we British do get patriotic it's for a great reason that's what makes it so poignant and is why we can carry it off with such style it's also why the Brits are renowned for this type of event world wide
