Make Land of Hope and Glory Englands National anthem
Stop using God save the Queen for Englands theme when playing against home nations. Wales, Scotland and Ireland all have their own anthewms, why not England. God save the Queen to be used only when competing as GB/UK. I would propose using Land of hope and glory instead
Why is this important?
England is one nations of the home nations. God save the Queen applies to all nations under the United Kingdom. It seems strange that the other nations should have to sing two anthems. When we compete as team GB/ British Lions etc then God save the Queen is appropriate. When competing as England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland it is not.
