@@robertlangley1664 Couldn’t agree more Robert. Don’t let the noise from up here from SNP bother you. It’s all bark. They’re a loud majority who have control of the media. No one with any brains wants independence
I can not listen or sing this song without crying my eyes out it makes me proud to be ENGLISH you can stick Britain we're the sun don't shine im English till I die I know I am I'm sure I am ENGLISH till I die❤
When America was hit by 9/11 and all the people of Britain stood stalwartly by our side, I gained a new appreciation for your great country. I then proceeded to teach all my music classes Jerusalem! Love you my dear brothers and sisters across the sea.
The UK loves the USA also we have a long history together and we are proud to stand with you shoulder to shoulder. Even though you turned up late in WW1 & WW2 lol but your forgiven now hehe. Seriously though we are two great nations that stand up for freedom and justice glad to have you as friends
As an Englishman reading through these comments I am overwhelmed with the love expressed by people from around the world. Thank you and God bless, have a great day
Oh,oh my heart is in England . I went to England in 1963 for a year, fell in love ,stayed 6 years. Fell in love with a guy in first week there, we we were together foe 43 years living in Sydney. The Lord needed him and he went to God in 2016. I'm now 77 and live with my beautiful cats. Love is forever.xxxx John
I’m very sorry for your loss! That’s a touching story and I’m very glad you had all those precious years and memories together. Sending you all my love, for London 🇬🇧
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth left us to be with her family today, 08 September 2022. As long as her name is spoken, she remains with us. God save the Queen.
@Nick the chopper The nations in the new world are more in line with civic nationalism where they are defined by the citizenship they have while ethnic nationalism is what you described, and that is more common in the countries of the old world.
Tommyenergy. In WW2 the spearhead which led the liberation of Europe were six. Those leading forces were three American, two British and one Canadian. Don't worry. We remember you. Your soldiers were there with ours. Your pilots were in the Battle of Britain too. We remember all right. And not long ago a rebuilt Canadian Lancaster bomber flew with our British one- together again. Special greetings from the UK.
I'm watching this as an American, chill bumps over me, my eyes stinging. I love patriotism. To our friends "across the pond", be blessed, and know you are respected.
Its not just about admiring "their patriotism" but recognizing that their patriotism, their way of looking at life nurtured and created ours. The United States and its stubborn commitment to freedom doesn't exist without the Brits. Long live the anglosphere!
This was, and remains the finest rendition of the national anthem I've ever heard. I remember being moved by it at the time. I wonder if anyone else has also picked up on the fact that this performance was exactly 10 years to the day before Her Majesty's passing. GSTQ LLTK
Agreed it is the best version I have ever heard. We had a birthday party here in the US with a group of ex-pats and I played this video as we remembered the Queen. Everyone was moved to tears, including my American wife.
@@clarealdam6358 I find myself rewatching this. Today will go down in history. I’m honored to witness it. Much love from the USA!! Contrary to our politics, we the people love our cousins across the pond. ❤️🇺🇸🏴
As an Englishman , how can we not be proud of our heritage ' along with the welsh , Scots and Irish . What a bunch of island we are ' And how we have shaped the world .
this is indeed true. The germans have done much, so the great culture of Italy and France, but Britain reigns supreme above any others. Its the culture of endeavour, creativity, entreprise, science and ultimately the culture of always strive to improve, to be better. This world has advanced thanks to Britain, to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, and thats the entire and whole truth
F**k the royals they are parasitic leeches the only one I had a bit of respect for was The Queen because the rest of them are absolutely useless.And there's a lot of anti royals in ENGLAND who think the monarchy should be abolished now we live in 2023 not 1223..
@@shareefsafadi7154 so true. Britain raped India of its wealth and then divided it. They did a lot of good too, but overall it was definitely a net negative.
England, Scotland and Whales are Brothers. As all brothers do, we have our issues, but ultimately we are family. God bless my brother, Rule Britannia indeed 🇬🇧
As a humble Englishman I'm happy to say I love the old Welsh National Anthem Cwm Rhonda ; though I think that's no longer the recognised anthem of Wales?
Just sitting here -- an American -- late at night, *weeping*, uncontrollably. They all stand up at once and sing, from memory, a hymn about working to turn their country into a New Jerusalem, a place where God -- His light and kindness and goodness -- dwells freely.
Samuel Barham Jerusalem is actually about the eighteen Missing years of Jesus. It is supposed to have been that Jesus came to the southern shores of England on a ship with his Uncle. Joseph of Arimathea who was a tin merchant! Hence the line -: "And dd those feet in ancient times walk on England's Mountains Green!" That start the hymn. Jesus then was supposed to have built a church at Glastonbury in Southern England. The town or village as it was then was called Avalon! So this is where the link to England and Jerusalem come into the equation. This is also why virtually every true English person k own this hymn off by heart. Please watch the link below which will explain the text above in greater detail ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HYbkT25iF2g.html
Callum The UK has only really been a secular nation for around a hundred years but the UK's origins are deeply rooted in Christianity albeit Catholic or protestant since the 1500s so your point is exactly?
Callum so your attitude is to keep looking forward and not look behind then! History has shown that those that do what your suggesting and ignore the past while blindly moving forwards get caught out by history. The wise person keeps one eye on the past and one eye on the future that way one is less likely to make the same mistake twice because they will see what's coming at them from all directions and know how to deal with it from experience!!!!
Too old , fat and knackered to wear HM's uniform ant more...but if any fucker threatens this island's traditions and values...not on my watch, not ever!
Hello Christina, I hope my comment wasn't taken as a form of invasion of your comments privacy. I'm here to make friends, happy new year, how are you? Where are you from?
Joseph Prado We too acknowledge that special relationship with a lot of good hearted' ribbing 'we helped you come into being the greatest nation on earth and you helped us on more than one occasion..
Paul Gray - "the greatest nation on earth" THE 'greatest' ? 'Greater' than Britain ITSELF ? I think not: let's content ourselves with ONE of the 'greatest', shall we ?
marvinc999 it is in my opinion. Had Britain not existed America would very likely have ended up like mexico. Imagine the implications to the world that would have involved. Had Britain been just a another off shore island a third of the world would not have been civilised. Australia would still be a stone age nation with just aborigines populating it. A lot of the great inventions and contributions to the world have come from Britain; directly or indirectly over the past two centuries. Britain is the true king of the world like the lion is the king of the jungle. In recent years it has declined by ineffective management which was caused by the British themselves on a gullt trip. Nobody has invaded Britain in a thousand years.. That's some record!!!
Many Americans comment here and feel emotional seeing this because despite our egos, we know our roots are with Britain. We left the Crown with a mix of anger and grief.
Henry V King of England and France Even though I admire that she and her hubby have been married for almost 73 years, I agree with you. I wish she would fire some people, despite the fact that a constitutional crisis would then follow. This country is being bled dry by so many abuses that our leadership seem to be doing nothing about. I don’t think she has a clue what life is like for those of us who don’t live the lifestyle that she leads. She’s surrounded by people who seem to be doing their best to stick two fingers up to the rest of us. I wish she’d see a post like this one, but that’ll never happen.
@@henryvkingofenglandandfran7220 sad thing is if she did try to do something a lot of people would just kick and scream over it and possibly try to overthrow her
This is England. As a German I pray for the Queen. May Madame long live and reign. This is style. God bless you English Folk, wherever you are, and best wishes from Hamburg/Germany. And Folks, excuse my bad English. My heart is with you !
I love Jerusalem so much. My son was born in the England , when we were working there . Tragically , my son died. We had Jerusalem sung at his funeral because of his birthplace.
If Jesus did travel to England, at least your son was born in England’s green and pleasant land. May he be in peace with Jesus and share his story. God bless you and your blood.
Jerusalem is proof that true beauty of a nation is in its culture and people, not its government and politics. I am an Indian researcher and a doctoral student of eighteenth and nineteenth century British literature, and I get goosebumps whenever I listen to Jerusalem.
Alot of friendly banter between the British and Australians but without your support and the rest of the support from the commonwealth Britain simply wouldn't have existed during her darkest hour. 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇦🇺👍
A question to any non English/British or crown citizen who has a view on the the last night of the proms. I see many a flag being waved, often the colours of countries who to be frank don’t like us much. I’m looking at you here Ireland. What is it that compelled you to come to the Albert hall and to revel in the celebration of British pomp and circumstance?
I am so American - on my maternal grandma all the way back to 1610 BUT my paternal grandfather was born in Quarry Bank and I was brought up like an English child. I love England and Britain in general with all my heart. We Americans learned everything from you.
As a South African... You should be proud, Britain. We never got along, but we only wish the best for you today. Now, get the hell out of the modern vipers' nest that is Europe and join your bloody Commonwealth!
Surrendering South Africa to the boers was the greatest mistake we made in Africa We should never have betrayed the fourth dominion God save the queen and god bless South Africa from the UK
@@Rose-wk8pe Did you know that the Angles and Saxons were actually germanic tribes before they set over to the British isles. Not many people know about that fact.
I'm a Yank, so I have little merit to make a statement. I'm sitting here, at this moment, bawling. The UK is at such a precipitous moment in her history both past and future. For as long as my lifetime, she has had the consistent service on one person who has served her peoples, guided her country through times good and bad, and loved her nation with more than all of her being. It is simply humbling to see that, amidst the chaos, and above the fray stands a nation in love with their sovereign. She is so very deserving of it, and her nation is so blessed to have her. May God continue to bless the United kingdom, and may God save, indeed, your Queen.
A minority among us want her gone, I am not one of them. In these ever darkening times, we need her now more than ever. She is a symbol of everything we are. I am proud of her. Thank you for your comment. It made me tear up.
Many thanks for you kind words As an Englishman born and living in London I have always said if I had not been born English I would love to have been born American.God bless UK/USA
I am Dutch, but I have always loved England. Its buildings, its nature, its culture, its music...so the hymn 'Jerusalem' is very special to me. And to hear 'God save our gracious Queen' brings tears in my eyes. She is such a strong, noble and wonderful person!
Insperato62 Actually there was plenty of freedom in France before and after 1789. Blake was in with a crowd that the Prime Minister would target, and King & Constitution mobs would torment. Repression without a guillotine. Basically most of the English of that time were pretty sedate. And there are reasons beyond difficulty for why Blake was an obscure printer during his lifetime.
Served with the USAF in Britain in the late '60's. Instantly fell in love with this wonderful and glorious land. I've been an Anglophile ever since. This video captures the spirit of Britain like few others....LOVE IT!
Thank you, I’m in the Royal Navy and we love docking in the states as we love your country, we visited in 2005 in the gulf of Texas on training and a US airman tried trading a pistol for my Manchester United jersey, I good gesture but I would of been put in prison if I took the offer do I just gave it him 🤣
Just a shame the youngsters don't care about all this now there more interested in technology and music icons and if you asked anyone of them do they know the words to these 2 hymns/songs they'd be stumped..
Thank you for your kind words my brother across the pond!!!! I am a patriotic man not as an English man but as a British man!!! I fly the union Jack high with pride!!! I am British and proud to be British and i am proud to have you as my American brother. Our countries fought against each other but now we fight alongside each other and i wouldn't want it any other way!!!

@@alexlarnach5271 Much love to you, Alex, from across the great pond. I'm so sad as we in America are on the verge of losing our Democracy this coming week . Evil has befallen our country and we may not get out from under it for decades. I cry for America almost every day.
I have noticed a budding resurgence in mutual appreciation, support and kindred bond between the u.k, America, Australia and Canada recently (to name but a few) I sincerely hope this continues and we can stand firmly together. We have woken up to those that would divide us and in so take over us bit by bit. Thank the good lord above and our innate spirit. We may bicker amongst ourselves from time to time...But I dare anyone to stand up to us face to face.
I hope you are right Mark, for we will need a special kind of bond between nations to get through this. Maybe this is the catalyst from which we can once again come together in mutual respect and common toil. Like the Great Man said; 'let us go forward together'

I was discussing with my father some years ago our plans to visit England together , I said I was only concerned about one thing, he asked what that was, I replied that I might not want to come home, Oh he replied why? I said “ because deep in my heart I believe I am an Englishman”. I now know this to be true.
Good man! You have your head screwed on, as we say. My wife had Goan parents, brought up in Kenya and Goa till age 16, fortunately had a British passport by right and is far more patriotic than most British people nowadays!
The modern world was shaped by the English speaking peoples. Go ahead and whine and nitpick for all the past mistakes but truth is this bunch of people brought the world much of the good stuff to be had.
30 years in the US, and the nostalgia of this hymn and the last night of the proms still bring tears to my eyes. Patriotism has nothin' to do with politics at all.
I will always be in awe of the UK and its people. I long for the day when I can call the UK my home. From the heart of the Mediterranean, the George Cross Island salutes you :) 🇲🇹🇬🇧
Glad to be born here and remembrance is amazing and I’m supported by thousands there. The best part of remembrance is everyone walking by my side and understanding my grief for those who died in the First World War. I was supported by thousands in 2017
I got that mass support in the Holocaust ceremony 2 years ago and I thanked everyone for it. It’s insane the love I get in Wales and I hope it stays that way
Trust me you don't want to come to the UK you live in the freaking mediterainian and you want to swop for Cold,Grey,Drab,Rainy,Dull,boring UK??? You mad?? I'd swop places with you anytime mate..
I'm French, 21 years old, and I went to London three times : in 2016, 2017 and 2018. These were the only vacation I could afford in my life, because my mom managed to find a decent paying job 5 years ago. We only stayed for a few days in inexpensive places, we ate at cheap but awesome places and bought very cheap souvenirs but I will forever remember these vacations. I heard that a lot of Britons criticize the Londoners, but they were so kind and polite to us. It's becoming harder to meet strangers so well-behaved in France ! We discovered a place really different from our small town, full of traditions and secrets. I wish I could get back in England to visit the rest of the country... But right now I can't afford to pay a passport. I'm sad and I hope the UK and France will sign a contract to ease travels between the countries !
Many many things have happened in the past 20 years Marie.. I also wish I knew what is going on too.... but am also glad that I went into Europe when the beginning of Easyjet was taking off... Those days and those memories of what I have seen of Europe will stay with me. As the world changes.. and as China goes online... and that they joined the WTO too... I don't even know where we begin, or end....
@@GerMFnU1848Sax Well I come from a small city with a very small European airport. 3/4 of our flights go to Paris (even if we have the TGV here where's the logic lol) so it's already a miracle that we have flights to London. I consider myself a like a country girl seeing the size of my place so discovering a huge city is very interesting to me. I'd like to discover the rest of the UK but I don't have enough money to stay more than 4 days. I've heard trains aren't so great to travel around so I would have to take the car but... I'm terrified to drive on the right side (I'm a terrible driver)...
Jock we are one great nation, but unfortunately your politicians are hell bent on destroying the unity of Great Britain, The greatest historical nation in all history.
I may be American but this fills me with such emotion and appreciation for the beautiful English like no other. There is something so wonderful about seeing people united in their nationality
There is an amazing version of 'Jerusalem' sung by the cadets at Westpoint Academy Glee Club. It gave me goosebumps to hear it sung outside of a traditional British setting. Your young fellow countrymen did the US and the esteemed Academy proud. It's easy to find here.
@@thomasholland2384 Not really, they are of English blood but they are now far removed from the English unlike Australia that still uses English slang, and many have a small accent from the UK.
@@ethan_s British, Americans, Canadians and Australians are all English. We are all the same people, in a sense we are our own race. And yes obviously I know being from England that we are the English, but so are they. They just decided to stop calling them self English but the truth is our blood and DNA are the same.
I am a US American but every time I hear this beautiful and stirring piece of music I get teary-eyed and goose bumps. I can't help it. There will always be an England.
So sad to look back on this with the passing of one of the greatest monarchs of all time. As an Australian, I still have quiet pride of having lived to see such an incredible reign. May she Rest In Peace.
rafael68165 Being English is not just where you are born, and it is more than just blood, it is a state of heart and mind. I am English and I welcome you and your words. God bless you and God save Brazil.
+babyshambles93 Following the failed Australian republic push of 1999, I have thanked the same God for saving the same Queen as our head of state, too. Long may she reign over us Down Under.
So do I, being Woody.EXE’s Queen makes it even sadder for me because I nearly passed away recently and I’m more loved than I was ever since Woody.EXE made the statement about his Queen being ill but me coming home I’ll never forget. I couldn’t have imagined the reactions of my people when Woody.EXE announced I was coming home earlier than expected since I was meant to make my first public appearance in the evening but i surprised them
England. Forever England. I remember my mother telling me, when they were cold and hungry in the winter of 1944, they were sure: the English will come. The English will come.
I was driving home, in 2012, when the Detroit "classical" music station played these two pieces. I had never heard of "The Proms", much less "The Last Night at the Proms." When I heard what it was, I went to my local store to purchase it. I was stunned to find out the chorus, which sounded to my ears entirely professional and coherent was in fact the AUDIENCE singing along.
We're not just pretty faces you know. And to be lucky enough to be born British was to have won life's lottery. I am sooooooo fukin proud to be British. I love my queen and Country so much that I would gladly die for my flag.
@@jayseaem and I would gladly die for the English soil beneath my feet....to defend England to my last breath would be the greatest honour one could know...
Singing in choirs at school was the norm and most people could sing Hymns Ancient and Modern with no trouble. in the 1950s. I suppose it has continued since then . Most English and Welsh can sing in crowds. at football matches etc.
I can not say how genuinely life-altering her death will be on the 2.5 billion of us, her royal subjects in the united kingdom, the realm and the holy commonwealth of nations. She's all we've ever known, she's not just Great Britain's queen, she was the Queen of the world, in a cultural and loving sense. we really are living thru some monumental historical events lately. HM the queen ELIZABETH II, there will never be anyone who compares to her. EVER. this is a cultural reset. and my British heart is breaking. the streets of England are solemn, all colours, creeds and differences united today. it is just mind-blowing. WHAT A WOMAN!!!! The world stands behind the UK at present and by god, we really hope you all allow us brits to mourn peacefully who was the greatest woman and leader the modern world has ever seen. GOD bless you HM Elizabeth II. YOU DID SPECTACULARLY and will go down In history as ELIZABETH THE GREAT!!!!
Everyone liked Elizabeth II, even Republicans did. She definitely united people like no other. I think you are right, in that we won't see anyone like her again (definitely not in our life times).
I have never imagined I will cry this hard over her death, but here I am still crying whenever I see a tribute to her majesty, It's such a loss and we will need time to fully process the fact that she's no longer with us, I guess in a way, I have never imagined Britain without her, she will always be remembered and she will always be missed.
I'm a Junior high school in Japan. My school's choir club has sang many time.I sung this song in UK too. UK's people said to us ''oh! ''.''Jerusalem!!'' I moved their phrase.some students cannot speak in English,But,I could feel pleasure from their phrase.

Though I am Dutch by birth, my heart belongs to the United Kingdom. I do love Great Britain. The culture, the history and their great traditions. The great people like Sir Winston Churchill, the Queen and those others. Listening to these songs and the national anthem makes me feel proud somehow. There will always be a Britain. God save the Queen and your wonderfull country.
@@cassivelaunus7771 I was watching Russian fans singing your national anthem last night.It was so loud they had to turn the sounds down because it was causing difficulties with transmissions etc. Great fans....Respect from Scotland....
The best thing about this video is that it's a celebration of Britain that is not limited to only Britain. We can see the flags of so many other nations present at the Proms, people from all over the world are joining in song and revelry. It's not a jingoistic power fantasy of blind nationalism, it's a glorious tribute to the spectacle of Britannia by people from all corners and lands of the Earth - all united in their love of our great nation
Please everybody, tell the anti British Broadcasting Company that we need these songs with Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory even more than ever this year. We need to be proud of our country not ashamed and the Last Night at the Proms is one of the few times we can express that pride and sing out loud and proud. Please BBC do not take this away from us - if oyu do you may live to regret it
People around the world are watching this event and feel for hours like Englishmen or Englishwomen! God save the Queen! Greetings from Berlin, Germany! 🇬🇧🇩🇪🇪🇺
I mean it was only gonna be the case during the pandemic. I understood their reasoning, and I must admit it wasn't the same without the promenaders. :( I agree though, the last segment with Jerusalem, Rule! Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory are the highlight. I get chills everytime. Perhaps we should look to have more signs of patriotism. I mean most people my age don't even know the world to god save the Queen, never mind the others. It's a shame, we should all know them and sing them like they do in other countries. But as you said we focus a lot more on the negatives of our history rather than celebrate the good. If you're gonna criticise then you should equally praise and vise versa.
Why? Germany is one of the most amazing countries with some of the most rich heritage... music, philosophy, literature... all breathtaking in depth and scope. You have so much to be proud of, never let anyone tell you otherwise.
