Our national anthem is pretty dire tbf. Especially when you compare it to a banger like the Italian one. What an anthem!
Flower of Scotland isn’t that bad (though my dad hates it) but still we definitely got the short end of the stick.
God Save the Queen is mainly used when the United Kingdom is competing as one, e.g. team GB in the Olympics. If competing as separate countries (e.g. Commonwealth Games), they use their own. I personally don't like God Save the Queen; it's slow and boring and dreary. Now (maybe I'm biased), Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, that is an anthem that gets your spirit up!

I know, GS is great for finding out things totally unrelated to figure skating! :agree:
Especially for you (yes, I sung that in my head while I was writing it) here are the anthems of the British Isles:
England - "Jerusalem"
Scotland - "Flower Of Scotland" (Given that I watched the match, I just had to use this video!)
Wales - "Old Land Of My Fathers" (English version / Welsh version)
Northern Ireland - "The Londonderry Air" (usually with the words of "Danny Boy")
Isle Of Man - "Arrane Ashoonagh Vannin" (English verses / Manx verses)
Guernsey - "Sarnia Cherie"
Jersey - "Ma Normandie"
Southern Ireland - "The Soldier's Song" (English version / Irish version)

And then you come to Northern Ireland, which uses a pub song... and a miserable one at that!
I am excited, but also quite nervous to see lilah & lewis' new programs.... their fd last year was SO good I just worry they won't have something to live up to it!
As per Lewis' instagram - Lilah and Lewis will be competing in Sheffield this week. Excited to find out what their music choices are this season!
The full list of competitors is here, it's so nice to see 6 junior teams competing too
Hopefully some kind soul films the competition!
The junior grand prix's have already been allocated. Ed Appleby has 2, Joseph has 1 .
Yeah, he seems to be very unlucky :/. The reason connor Bray didnt get jgp assignment is because he delayed his move to junior in order to win ad novice British, and thus missed out on being on the national rankings and therefore wasnt invited to the screening.
