Quite right, Land of Hope and Glory isn't the English National Anthem, but it is used in that capacity at a number of events including the Commonwealth Games, I'm not sure what it's exact status is. Mintguy
The reason for Land of Hope and Glory being used for the English anthem in the Commonwealth Games (and others), is that God Save the Queen is the UK anthem, and although England is the major partner in the UK, it isn't the whole of the UK, and God save the Queen is the UK and Commonwealth anthem.
On a different note, what are the rules for putting 'The' in the title of links? I've followed the convention in this document of not doing so, but I'm not sure if its right for The Pomp and Circumstance Marches. csmiller
