The KING's Coronation Anthem below is also a touching tribute to the QUEEN, best played Loud:
http://youtu.be/t2YVnJb9Ka8?t=27s +++++++++++++ Even the Hitler Parody is sad and and teary about the Queen's passing. Adolf says nothing but is moved by the stirring scenes and music of the Queen, including "Land of Hope and Glory" and of course "God Save the Queen" at the Queen's End (Exit) http://youtu.be/bu9IxOwWRZw?t=12s Mavers :( Posted by Maverick, Monday, 19 September 2022 2:48:58 PM
