I agree with Councillor Peter Willows (Letters, July 9). It would be wonderful to sing a British national anthem in schools and public places, to make us more proud of ourselves, our country and heritage.
Unfortunately, we have an anthem which is, musically, little more than a dirge and, after many verses, the only message is deference to the Sovereign.
Sorry Mr Willows, as much as I'm proud to be British, our national anthem leaves me cold.
