National anthem of England

Common card · No. 409625

There is no official national anthem of England. There have been calls for a national anthem to be designated, including discussions on the subject in the UK Parliament, however like other constituent countries of the United Kingdom there is no official anthem. There are a number of songs which may fulfil this role. Several candidate songs have been discussed, including "Jerusalem", "There'll Always Be an England", "Wonderwall", "Rose of England", "I Vow to Thee, My Country" and "Land of Hope and Glory". While these anthems have been used to represent England at certain events such as the Commonwealth Games, "God Save the King" (which is the national anthem of the United Kingdom as a whole) is a common substitute at other sporting events with a separate English team. This is also the case for Northern Ireland.
