God Save the Queen

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

God Save the Queen is a song, the national anthem of the United Kingdom. When there is a king instead of a queen it becomes God Save the King. Some other countries that still have the British monarch as their head of state use this song as a Royal Anthem to honour the queen.

It is not completely certain who wrote it, but most people think it was Dr Henry Carey, who first performed it in 1740.
