England is a proud nation, expecially when it comes to their Royal family. While most other national anthems praise their country's beauty and virtues, the British National Anthem speaks only of its reigning monarch. Its origins are a mystery lost to time - what is known is that "God Save the King" was first performed in 1745 to honor King George II. Over time, the song became the British National Anthem without an official decree or parliamentary legislation. Today, "God Save the Queen" is played in honor of the longest reigning monarch in British history: Queen Elizabeth II.
