God Save The Queen……

That is what every British have to know, the lyrics and the hymn to lyrics of the Anthem of God Save The Queen and also Rule Brittania. Well, like everyone know Great Britain’s Capital City is of course, LONDON. And many of you don’t know these facts:

Great Britain consists of ENGLAND, WALES, SCOTLAND, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man,Jersey, Guernsey and Gilbratar. Within the British Isle itself, London controls over England and Wales whereas Scotland has it’s own set of rules outside of the British Administration. And not many know where the Capital Cities of these Countries. YES, THERE ARE COUNTRIES THAT MAKE BRITAIN GREAT!

So, to entice your knowledge,Cardiff is the capital of Wales, Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and London is the capital of England. Within the Administration, Douglas is the capital for Manx, Belfast for Ulster *(not to be confused with Dublin for the Republic) and the Channel Islands,… well, I’m not that well versed.

Accomodation in London itself is not that expensive at all. London hotels itself are cheap if you know where to find. And don’t get ripped off with those last minute deals which you find at the train station. Decent hotels in London, or all throughout England , Scotland and Wales are actually cheap. Most of them have WiFi too, so you can do your business meetings there.

Anyway, for the one who confused with the anthems, God Save the Queen goes like this:

God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!

Send her victorious,
Happy and Glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
Oh, save us all!

Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign;

May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!

Not in this land alone,
But be God’s mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world over
From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the Queen!

O’er her thine arm extend,
For Britain’s sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!

Whereas the main for Rule Britannia is

When Britain first, at heaven’s command,
Arose from out the azure main,
Arose, arose, arose from out the azure main,
This was the charter, the charter of the land,
And guardian Angels sung this strain:

Rule Britannia!
Britannia rule the waves.
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

The nations, not so blest as thee,
Must in their turn, to tyrants fall,
Must in their turn, must in their turn, to tyrants fall,
While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.

where the emphasis at Soccer Matches is just the Britain shall never be slaves and with the National Anthem will be God Save the Queen
