Rejected petition Make the Horrible Histories 'English kings and queens song' the national anthem
Rejected on
Why should we sing a song about just one monarch when we can represent all of them? Horrible Histories was the best show to ever grace UK television. Make this the national anthem because it represents all of English modern history. The ending will suffice for events such as sporting matches.
This is the song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40qOAcz5bUM
