I celebrated with Nanny (my grandmother) and mourned the Queens father King George IV and it was an emotional but amazing anniversary. My grandmother is nearly 71 now
It made me very depressed for a month and I’m better finally. I’ll still feel emotional for him when I want to. I got very stressed if I left him one minute and then everyone else got involved my grieving time and I told my family off
0:45 - the tenors descending on "over us" 0:56 - the musical transition to the second verse taking it to a whole new level. the tempo slows a bit and adds a dramatic effect 1:20 - the resonance of those trumpets 1:36 - that chord 1:041:311:42 - the descant sopranos followed by a grand FINE! what an arrangement! what an anthem! long live the Queen!!
I love your highlights; if I may add my own at 0:27. The way the word "victorious" is sung is just....glorious is really the only word that comes to mind. As if the heavens opened up and every angel is beaming down on this tiny little woman in a green outfit.
70 years of her reign next year and marking my 10th anniversary with my beloved 1940. I celebrated my 9th anniversary with the Second World War 3 months ago and it feels like yesterday. I just can’t believe it’s been almost a decade with my beloved war
Musically speaking, national anthems don’t often get arrangements any grander than this. Forget about politics, monarchy vs republic etc and appreciate this amazing musical treat. Listen to the four part harmony, especially the tenors in the first verse, then hear the young boys of St Paul’s cathedral choir add the soaring descant to the second verse with the grand contribution of the 12 fanfare trumpets. This is a superb musical arrangement. Let’s appreciate the great work done by these choirs and musicians, and the late Sir David Willcocks.
@@KingJackson11355 So do I. My beloved Second World War has looked over me for almost 10 amazing years and the war turns 10 in 2022. It’s going to be the biggest celebration of the year. I cannot believe it’s been nearly 10 years since finding 1940 in Primary Year 5 2012 and it became my beloved 1940 in 2014
Sir David Willcocks who did this version of the anthem said “This was the wedding at St Paul’s : we had the congregation of 3,500, the Choir of St Paul’s, the Choir of the Chapel Royal, the Bach Choir, the State Trumpeters, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Opera House Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra. And the Organ of St Paul’s. We used them all.” I doubt there has been or ever will be a grander rendition of the National Anthem. It is gloriously majestic and totally over the top. It’s amazing! How on earth The Queen keeps her composure is astounding.
This version is by far the best and most majestic of them all. Out of all the anthems in the world, this version truly commands your attention. I remember watching this in the US live on TV in 1981 and I never forgot the sound of this and the impression it left. A wonderful musical masterpiece for the ages.
If she smiled or bowed or any such nonsense, she would be making it about her the person, Elizabeth Windsor...it is about the Crown, Elizabeth Regina...not her.
I don't ever want the Queen to die. She is the best Queen ever. UK will collapse if something happens to her. Hope the memes about her being immortal is true. We don't want someone else to be king or Queen.
One of the most Glorious renditions. I have read that Prince Charles loves to pick out pieces and arrangements for special occasions. This was his wedding to Diana and i cannot help but to think that by him picking this Beautiful, full, and majestic arrangement, it was almost like a love letter of appreciation to his Mother.
This was arranged (with added descant) by the late Sir David Willcox. Listen to him tell the story and of Prince Charles's instructions in UA-cam video ua-cam.com/video/IhVE-tv1A5c/v-deo.html
here after HRH Prince Philip was laid to rest, just wanted to wish her majesty my deepest condolences. She has served the United Kingdom for 69 years and been married to Phillip for 73 years and I just can’t imagine what it’s like to lose your love of your life for over 73 years. I knew that phillip was her “strength and stay”, her “Rock” . I just wanted to send my love to her and that may god protect and defend her for as long as she lives. God Save The Queen ❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸
THIS IS FROM INDIA AS MUCH AS I LOVE MY INDIA I ADORE ENGLISH . LOVE ENGLISH AND RESPECT HER MAJESTY ...ADMIRE ENGLISH WAY OF HOSPITALITY, AND PROUD TO LEARN THIS BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE
How the Queen must wish she could turn back the clock and have most of their lives and all their experiences still ahead of her and Prince Philip. What a glorious Elizabethan age to be nearing its end!

As a citizen of the United States, I have to say the UK national anthem is the best. This is the most powerful and moving versions I have ever heard. Something about the sound of it in St Paul's Cathedral just makes it.
I did when Woody.EXE became Wales’s monarch and his proclamation was 24 hours after the Queen died. This has been a crazy year for wales; it will be weird as hell when I’m finally crowned as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth III on my birthday this Thursday. I didn’t think I’d be as nervous as I am now but that’s what my people want so I’m doing it for them

@@samadams2575 She takes the anthem seriously and I’m like that on my anniversaries with my beloved Second World War but I’m always happy for it. It’s hard not to get emotional on 1940’s birthday
BEST Version ever....especially with 12 Royal Warrant Trumpets......so Patriotic LIVELY and so Gloriously sang and sing...so so Elegantly sang.....hello from Indonesia.....had been to UK 12x before....St.Paul Cathedral 6x...love the Crypt of Nelson and Duke of Wellington.....and also the Cafeteria in the crypt section......
One of the best versions indeed! Amazing how no one burst out in rapturous applause...great orchestration, great choral arrangement, wonderful harmonies, and especially loved the descant soprano line. Joyous! If America had a queen, we might not deal with half the crap we do, lol!
LOL thats something one of my fellow Americans would do, unfortunately 😏, just break out into applause at the end of the national anthem....and the Queen and everyone else would glare at the person like 😒 "this isn't a concert, bruh" 🤣 Interesting term that, descant. Google defines it as: an independent treble melody usually played or sung above a basic melody.
Absolute delight to hear the British national anthem. 'God save the gracious Queen' indeed it's the prayers of the nation that has awarded the Queen a long and prosperous reign. An embodiment of grit, strength, charm and grace. Regal and absolute Royalty.
We no longer have our Gracious Queen having passed away. We here in UK are mourning our loss. She gave Her life To Her Country and it's people. We will never see her like again. Thank you Your Majesty for 70 years Reign you did so with the mantra never complain never explain. We will miss you terribly, but now you are with your husband, your mother, father and sister, and more importantly with your Maker. RIP.
To this day, I cannot believe that Her Majesty the Queen has died. This is an irreparable loss for me and for the whole world. Rest in peace, Your Majesty😭 It's hard for me to realize this...
5 months later and I’m much better than I was. I resumed my duties as Queen quickly as possible and that’s a true Queen. Me and Woody.EXE weren’t ready for this role we’ve got now. Woody.EXE brings up my family very well and Mummy didn’t think he was good enough until he gave her the royal title of Mummy, Princess of Wales after the Queen died
Yes, a beautiful version of the National Anthem! You could see the Queen Mother smiling at HM the Queen with such a look of love and pride on her face. A younger Prince Philip by the Queen's side.
I pray to God that she will live as long as her beloved Mother, Queen Elizabeth did (1900-2002). Her Aunt Princess Alice of Gloucester lived longer than the Queen Mother until she was fully 102 years of age. We can only hope her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II beats them both. It will be very safe when she's gone. England ang Great Britain will never be the same once she's gone. God Bless you and keep you your Majesty. 🙏
Sorry...I did mean to say sad not safe. I do not think her son Prince Charles will be a very good King. It's said he will be a nasty, tyrant King, and that nasty horse face he's married to. He does not deserve the honour
I believe that, Most narrow minded people would never honor the tradition of the British monarchy. Think about very time our country has gone to war, It's our British and Canadian friends at our side. I for one am willing Honor the Queen, with a bow, God Save the Queen. From Vancouver WA USA
No,I in no way do I see Germans as an enemy, I see them also the victims of the Nazi's. Germany has great history prior to and after Adolf Hitler and his goons. I am by person the understand history. Long live Sacred Germany - From USA.
I hope so and I’ll be doing this on my 10th anniversary with my beloved Second World War in July 2022. Hard to believe it’ll be 10 years next year. Love you my beloved War of 9 years ❤️
@@milus3629 If you don’t get it, I noticed 1940 nearly 10 years ago and we learned it in primary school in year 5. And 1940 has been on my side all these years
This song must get under Charles' skin...he must be thinking, "OK God, I know we said "long to reign over us", but don't you think you've taken it a little too far? She's going to outlive me!"
I entirely agree, a wonderful rendition, made perfect by Her Majesty's poise. It's always poignant to watch moments like this, to see the person for whom the song is sung for, and wonder what emotions are running through her mind. It's not easy to stand silently with such grace and poise on such moving occasions, but she handled it with class. She will always give us cause to sing with voice and heart - God Save The Queen
@@JonatasMonte well I dont give a shit to them, I just love this anthem though it doesn't meant that I want Queen rule in my country cause we already had it 😀
This 1981 footage may have been drawn from an old VHS tape, and the sound quality not the best, but please know that it is a small part of the most glorious wedding music ever recorded. National Anthem arrangement (and descant) specially created for this occasion by the late great Sir David Willcocks. Musical forces = Choir of St Paul's Cathedral, Choir of HM Chapel Royal, The Bach Choir. Orchestra drawn from Philharmonia Orchestra, Orch of Royal Opera House, English Chamber Orch. + Fanfare Trumpeters of the Royal Military School + organ. The same arrangement (with far less forces) was used to the hymn "My Country Tis of Thee" at the 2018 funeral service for U.S. Senator John McCain by the Choir of National Cathedral Washington D.C. USA
@@justinnelson7718 I know, but people can still evoke longevity to a person or nation that has died, like how we still say “Long live the Emperor” for Napoleon
This is Canada’s royal anthem and it isn’t used enough. People are forgetting their British heritage and would willing end the monarchy without a second thought. As a Nova Scotian I am a proud monarchist 🇬🇧
Our loved Dominion bless, with peace and happiness, from shore to shore! And let our Empire be -- Loyal, United, Free! True to Herself and thee, for evermore!
This is THE BEST rendition of the nationals anthem ever! I love the royals, I love the monarchy and I love the Queen! I feel so proud to be British! I’ve listened to this at least 5 times a day in the past 4 months! I feel so proud to be British, and listening to this, just reinforces that. God Save The Queen! Long Live the Queen! 👑 🇬🇧 🏴 👑
I love our Queen. Thank you so much for everything that you have done for us. Such an amazing women. She makes me so proud to be British. I will never stop singing God save the Queen.

You must be kidding right? that anthem is the most *boring* one in the world.
I believe that, Most narrow minded people would never honor the tradition of the British monarchy. Think about very time our country has gone to war, It's our British and Canadian friends at our side. I for one am willing Honor the Queen, with a bow, God Save the Queen. From Vancouver WA USA
No,I in no way do I see Germans as an enemy, I see them also the victims of the Nazi's. Germany has great history prior to and after Adolf Hitler and his goons. I am by person the understand history. Long live Sacred Germany - From USA.

Let's hope this glorious version be played on the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
I really would want to hear this version in 2022.
I hope so and I’ll be doing this on my 10th anniversary with my beloved Second World War in July 2022. Hard to believe it’ll be 10 years next year. Love you my beloved War of 9 years ❤️

If you don’t get it, I noticed 1940 nearly 10 years ago and we learned it in primary school in year 5. And 1940 has been on my side all these years
Our Most Gracious and Excellent Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, may you attain eternal peace in the arms of our Lord.
This blessing of God save the queen worked so well that God doesn't need to save her... she simply will never die
I never thought prince Philip would die this year until he fallen ill and I was worried sick for him
I hope not because I seen a live video of the Queens funeral leaks and I thought she had died. I can’t believe I was tricked by that
God save the Queen, from Australia
it’s like someone singing happy birthday to you. but thousands of people singing it.
This song must get under Charles' skin...he must be thinking, "OK God, I know we said "long to reign over us", but don't you think you've taken it a little too far? She's going to outlive me!"
Charles constantly mumbling on that part. 😂
Ahhh... How do I put this? Are you familiar with the word "predictment"?
Hopefully the Queen will outlive the Camzilla Creature.
Do you think Charles wants his mother to die then?
A a a a this didn’t age well
Arguably the best arrangement of all time.
I agree, although the Queen didn’t seem to!
R.i.p Prince Philipp
I entirely agree, a wonderful rendition, made perfect by Her Majesty's poise. It's always poignant to watch moments like this, to see the person for whom the song is sung for, and wonder what emotions are running through her mind. It's not easy to stand silently with such grace and poise on such moving occasions, but she handled it with class. She will always give us cause to sing with voice and heart - God Save The Queen
Easily the best anthem in the world, God save the Queen I am an Indian btw.
It's his choice to be a British Loyalist, not yours.
@Indian Atheist Then atheists don't understand why they're disliked
Careful, someone's gonna call you a traitor.
Kudos to you for expressing it.
@@JonatasMonte well I dont give a shit to them, I just love this anthem though it doesn't meant that I want Queen rule in my country cause we already had it 😀
I can't Stop listening to This Glorious Anthem And I'm Not British
I dont believe you. You are CLEARLY British lmao

This 1981 footage may have been drawn from an old VHS tape, and the sound quality not the best, but please know that it is a small part of the most glorious wedding music ever recorded. National Anthem arrangement (and descant) specially created for this occasion by the late great Sir David Willcocks. Musical forces = Choir of St Paul's Cathedral, Choir of HM Chapel Royal, The Bach Choir. Orchestra drawn from Philharmonia Orchestra, Orch of Royal Opera House, English Chamber Orch. + Fanfare Trumpeters of the Royal Military School + organ.
The same arrangement (with far less forces) was used to the hymn "My Country Tis of Thee" at the 2018 funeral service for U.S. Senator John McCain by the Choir of National Cathedral Washington D.C. USA
Long may she reign! Long may the British Empire live!

@@justinnelson7718 I know, but people can still evoke longevity to a person or nation that has died, like how we still say “Long live the Emperor” for Napoleon
@@Anonymoususer44569 Commonwealth is better since the British empire has bad connotations for most people but I get what you mean
From America i love you my U. K. brothers and sisters our relationship will never end God bless america and God save the queen 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Perhaps the greatest monarch who has ever lived Queen Elizabeth the 11
Recommended after 12 years tf i think i just need to grow up to hear this majestic version
This is Canada’s royal anthem and it isn’t used enough. People are forgetting their British heritage and would willing end the monarchy without a second thought. As a Nova Scotian I am a proud monarchist 🇬🇧
We love Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇬🇧
Our loved Dominion bless, with peace and happiness, from shore to shore!
And let our Empire be -- Loyal, United, Free! True to Herself and thee, for evermore!
Come to America and we’ll straighten you out.
I love UK and I’m glad to live within it
What a sweet version that is. Now we don't find that kinds of dedication in today's choirs. They sings but the sound doesn't touch our heart❤️.
My absolute favorite rendition. Listen to the harmony.
The moment at 1:03 😩👌 *chefs kiss*
Will never have another Queen like this majestic woman! God Save The Queen!
For me the best part is hearing the boatswain's whistle beginning at 1:04: very nautical, and very fitting for a naval power.
everytime the anthem plays, her lifespan extends for a fortnight
I think about Prince Philip every time
God save the queen 👑🇬🇧 from the United States 🇺🇸
Britain and the US are probably the only two nations on earth where a musical moment of this magnificence could pass without spontaneous applause.
I’m British and I’m glad Queen Elizabeth is our queen!
i realized this anthem is a prayer.
@@Charlie-xz8dg Oh, how so? I’m intrigued? And not sarcastically.
And I’m depressed that our beloved Prince Philip is gone
I didn’t think when he died it wouldn’t affect me but it really has just days after my breakdown a week ago and I even told Mummy i miss him
@@nicolelawless3199 I’m confused. Was the queens mom of royal blood? Who came before her
The queen cannot die.
God save the Queen, save Queen Elizabeth II
Even if the world explodes, may the Queen of the world be saved!
That was a lovely descant by the choir on the last verse
Long Live Her Majesty The Queen! And May Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales rest in eternal peace
GOD SAVE HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
LONG LIVE HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
GOD BLESS OUR BELOVED UNITED KINGDOM
This is THE BEST rendition of the nationals anthem ever! I love the royals, I love the monarchy and I love the Queen! I feel so proud to be British! I’ve listened to this at least 5 times a day in the past 4 months! I feel so proud to be British, and listening to this, just reinforces that.
God Save The Queen!
Long Live the Queen!
👑 🇬🇧 🏴 👑
I love our Queen. Thank you so much for everything that you have done for us. Such an amazing women. She makes me so proud to be British. I will never stop singing God save the Queen.

oliver eales What? What you saying? learn to write proper English you dumb shit.
oliver eales haha took you a long time to reply to that. didn't you know what to say. that curry too hot for you?
oliver eales I know right. UA-cam and Facebook is just full of cunts. so annoying
oliver eales you'll be waiting a while for that. maybe something like 50 years.
Always loved this anthem and i was 4 months old when they were wed.
I love being British! I also love that it’s sung at weddings ect!
The 12 state trumpets from 1:17 to the end were worth the cost of the entire wedding. Absolutely spectacular.
English people be proud of your great homeland and your beautiful hymn a kiss from Italy
God Save and Bless HM The Queen. Love to our Mother country, from the US :)
STUNNING ABSOLUT STUNNING 👑🇬🇧
