SIR – On the question of changing our national anthem. If we are honest, it’s quite a dull and boring anthem to be saddled with. We need something more uplifting and cheerful. To Be A Pilgrim, maybe, would be more appropriate.
Billy Connolly’s quip about changing it to the theme from The Archers brought to mind just how dreary our national anthem is compared to other countries.
Billy is a great entertainer and a brilliant musician in his own right. He quite rightly said, be it only in jest, what a lot of us have been thinking for ages.
