Thermopylae 15,287 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 After 70 years singing God Save The Queen I think there may be one or two little slips along the way on Wednesday The start might not be so difficult with "God Save Our Gracious King" but by the time we reach "Send Him Victorious" it will seem all too familiar and due care and attention will have to be taken Gaffbear and JCDBigBear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this day and age it's hardly expected to be literal but more of a symbolic gesture for the crown. Or don't you believe in the monarchy either?

King Charles can go beside her majesty. Perhaps put one of Charles up on the opposite wall although I have always assumed that the queen is there because she's the head of state so perhaps she should move? It's quite tricky because as far as I'm aware there isn't one of KGVI and yet we have the excellent portrait of Mr Struth in the trophy room and he dates from the same era Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line is symbolic I’m not religious but that doesn’t mean I celebrate the Winter Holiday on the 25th December every year This may be me spouting pish but I think we should encourage questions like this, not shoot them down. Protestantism taught us that the right thig to do was question things and not blindly follow the vatican's decrees. I'm not religious either, and while I don't mind the song or singing it, it's not one I would choose if we were starting from scratch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
