La la la laa la la.....

For reasons best known to those in charge, it has been decided that any gold medals we win at these Olympics will be greeted by the playing of two verses of the National Anthem, and you will be expected to sing the first and third verses.  You don't know the third verse?  Well I suspect you are in good company - there will be few who do.  So here it is -

Thy choicest gifts in store

On her be pleased to pour,

Long may she reign.

May she defend our laws

And ever give us cause 

To sing with heart and voice

God save the Queen.

So start praticing.
