*************************************** DISCLAIMER *************************************** I do not own any content in the video, i have put it on youtube for entertainment purposes only.
This is my pick for an alternate British Anthem if ever the current one was too fall out of favor. Like the current one, this too isn't native to Britain, but I believe it capture the spirit of our 'great Island nation' perfectly; with it senses of pride, honour, majesty and hope. The Prime Ministers included in the video are: Winston Churchill, Harold Wilson, The Duke of Wellington, Earl Grey, Robert Peel, William Gladstone, Tony Blair & Margaret Thatcher - Those of which I consider to be some of our best leaders - That doesn't mean I agree with all of them or that I would have voted for them, but they are all Great Brits nonetheless. The less obvious (or not mentioned) places in the picutres Include - Nottingham, Sheffield, Angelsea, Looe, Exeter & Sussex The pub in the last picture sits below Nottingham castle and is one of the oldest (and still going) pubs in the world called "Ye old trip to Jeruslam" The picutre of the town center with the fountain is the old market square in Nottingham, which was the original site for the world famous "Goose Fair"
