Bonus extra question for the day
A few months before the recent Commonwealth Games, the Commonwealth Games Council for England polled a sample of the English public, giving them three choices. As a result of the vote, they chose something in place of what they used earlier. This now matches the choice of the English men's Test cricket team and the English women's Lacrosse team.
What change?
[+ Show Answer]
England does not have
an official national anthem, especially for use during sporting occasions ("God Save the Queen" is the anthem of the United Kingdom). The Commonwealth Games have traditionally used "Land of Hope and Glory", while the Test cricket team uses "Jerusalem" (a song also featured on the soundtrack of the Oscar-winning sports film "Chariots of Fire").
After this poll, the English Commonwealth Games squad has switched to "Jerusalem", which will be played during medal ceremonies. The football and rugby teams continue to use "God Save the Queen".
