For the Olympics 2 of the 5 Verses are to sung. Verses 1 & 3.

Verse 2 to be dropped because of its politically incorrect content:


O Lord our God arise,

Scatter our enemies,

And make them fall!

Confound their knavish tricks,

Confuse their politics,

On you our hopes we fix,

God save the Queen!


So here it goes.


Verse 1


God save our gracious Queen!

Long live our noble Queen!

God save the Queen!

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us,

God save the Queen.


Verse two


Thy choicest gifts in store

On her be pleased to pour,

Long may she reign.

May she defend our laws,

And give us ever cause,

To sing with heart and voice,

God save the Queen.

Lets hope they dont wheel Lesley Garret out to honk it like she did on the Champs Elysee. Poor Wiggins looked like he wa going to shrivel up with shame. It would have been marginally more bearable if their had been a brass band to drown out her divaish warbling. How about an alternative? I'm going with This:
It strikes me as wilfully odd that they can update the interpretation of the bible every 5 mins to suit the waxing and waning of public opinion but they cant airbrush out the verse which calls for the enforced rimming of the Scottish chieftains(or whatever). Is their a verse that alludes to The Welsh fondness for a certain livestock or one that touches on the upside of the potato famine? Fie for shame your majesticness. Still, I'm looking forward to it...

Yes, I know the words:


Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,

Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;

Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,

Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.


Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.

Tra m?r yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,

O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.


Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,

Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;

Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si

Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.


Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.

Tra m?r yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,

O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.


Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,

Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed,

Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,

Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.


Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.

Tra m?r yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,

O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
