National anthem

National anthem of England is usually taken to be the same as that of the United Kingdom as a whole—"God Save the Queen", but 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. There are a number of songs which may fulfil this role. Several candidate songs have been discussed, including "Jerusalem", and "Land of Hope and Glory" or even a new song. Alternatives to "God Save the Queen" have been used for England teams at sporting events.
