National anthem of England

There is no agreed national anthem of England but it is usually defaulted in the absence of agreement to be "God Save the King." In 2016 some MPs felt that England should have its own distinct anthem with the result that there have been discussions on the subject in the UK Parliament.[1]

There are a number of songs which may fulfil this role. Several candidate songs have been discussed, including "There'll Always Be an England", "Jerusalem", "Rose of England", "I Vow to Thee, My Country" and "Land of Hope and Glory".[2] Alternatives to "God Save the King" have been used for England teams at sporting events.[1]
