The Best of Great Britain (Anthems of the United Kingdom)

This is a small compilation to celebrate the music and composers of the United Kingdom, and to not let these amazing pieces fade away. If you wish to know some history behind these pieces, just comment and I will try and answer any queries. But, for now, please enjoy :)

I DO NOT own the rights to any of the music or photos, I only edit these compilations. I recently have been hit hard by YouTube copyright Gestapo, and this video was a specific target of a strike (I had to remove Maurice Andre's fantastic rendition of Clarke's Trumpet Voluntary). So, I would be very grateful for a like on the video, but either way, I hope you enjoy the music!
