Rejected petition Make Land Of Hope And Glory the English anthem

More details

What song will England be singing in the World Cup?
"God Save The Queen" of coarse. But why?
I do not hate this song, except for the fact it does NOT represent England but Britain.
England does not officially have a national anthem but I have heard that our recommended song is "Land Of Hope And Glory".
So why don't we accept this as our anthem and sing this at England's matches instead?
