As for the Anthem, at Rugby matches people always positively bellow out their country's Anthem with huge pride - players and fans alike!Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175531371914205163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7166949416950161358.post-51787078071597753872012-08-02T20:45:00.038+01:002012-08-02T20:45:00.038+01:00Great post again.

I loved being in London at the weekend with the union jacks everywhere. And yes, the wall of sound was very evident in Brompton Road too. <br /><br />The one thing that is really standing out for me is that not only are the crowds cheering but it seems that each and every person is SINGING the words to the anthem rather than mouthing them or humming the tune. <br /><br />It was rather novel to be in a bar for the opening ceremony when all the tourists actually stood up for the Queen when she appeared....... I kid you not. The tourists (foreigners) stood up before the British. Very funny indeed.cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01266842386436970708noreply@blogger.com
