====United Kingdom==== {{See also|List of British anthems}} The United Kingdom's national anthem is "[[God Save the King]]" but [[Countries of the United Kingdom|its constituent countries]] and [[Crown Dependencies]] also have their own equivalent songs which have varying degrees of official recognition. [[England]], [[Scotland]], [[Wales]], and [[Northern Ireland]] each have anthems which are played at occasions such as sports matches and official events.<ref>Johnson, H. (2015). [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/299135674_Anthem_for_Jersey_Music_Media_and_Politics_in_an_Island_Setting MEDIANZ, 15(1), 96โ118.].</ref> * England - "[[God Save the King]]" is usually presumed to be, and often played as, the [[proposals for a national anthem for England|English regional anthem]]; but "[[And did those feet in ancient time|Jerusalem]]", "[[I Vow To Thee, My Country]]" and "[[Land of Hope and Glory]]" are also sung. "[[And did those feet in ancient time|Jerusalem]]" is used as England's anthem at the [[Commonwealth Games]]. * Scotland variously uses "[[Flower of Scotland]]", "[[Auld Lang Syne]]", and "[[Scotland the Brave]]" as its unofficial national anthems. "Flower of Scotland" is used as Scotland's anthem at the [[Commonwealth Games]] and international [[association football|football]] and [[rugby football|rugby]] matches. * Wales has sung "[[Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau]]" since 1856 when it was written by father and son [[Evan James (poet)|Evan]] and [[James James]]. The music and a Breton translation, "[[Bro Gozh ma Zadoรน]]", were adopted by [[Brittany (administrative region)|Brittany]] as its anthem; and there is also a Cornish version, "[[Bro Goth agan Tasow]]", sung alongside "[[The Song of the Western Men|Trelawney]]" as an unofficial Cornish anthem. In Wales, "Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" is sometimes accompanied by the hymn, "[[Cwm Rhondda|Guide Me, O thou Great Redeemer]]" (also referred to as "Bread of Heaven" from repeated words in its first verse), especially at rugby matches. * Northern Ireland currently uses "God Save the King" as its anthem at international [[association football|football]] matches and uses "[[Londonderry Air|Danny Boy/Londonderry Air]]" at the [[Commonwealth Games]]. The [[Isle of Man]], a Crown dependency, uses "God Save the King" as a Royal anthem, but also has its own local anthem, [[Arrane Ashoonagh Vannin|"O Land of Our Birth"]] (Manx: "''O Halloo Nyn Ghooie''").
