The most iconic sound of the coronation will be the familiar song of our national anthem, first recorded as a prayer more than three thousand years ago and used at every coronation since 973 AD, this prayer has become part of who we are as a nation. 'God Save the King' uses the words of our national anthem (first and last verses) and takes us on a tour of the UK, celebrating so many aspects of our wonderful culture: our creativity and sportsmanship, our NHS and frontline services, our rich agricultural and maritime heritage, our forward-looking urban regeneration and our rural and seaside traditions and of course our unrivalled ability to craft a to queue!
