Jerusalem > LoHag >> God Save The Queen. Jupiter / Thaxted is a top tune but the lyrics are redundant.
God Save The Queen is awful, though Flower of Scotland is worse, possibly the worst national anthem in the world, a tuneless dirge that goes on for ever. The Welsh kick us and the Scots into a cocked hat, though Land of My Fathers really has to be sung by 40,000 Welshmen in a rugby stadium to have its full effect.

The Russians beat everyone though.
