Gods save the queen is not the English national anthem it is sung by all british subjects and Rule britania also amplies to the empire and not just England.

England and Scotland, unlike Wales and Northern Ireland does not have it's own officially recognised anthem (Wales Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau - or land of my fathers and Northern Ireland's Londonderry Air). Jerusalem, I vow to thee my country, Nimrod and Land of hope and glory could all be contenders for England; Flower of Scotland and Scotland the Brave for Scotland, yet they are not official.
The national anthem for the nation of the United Kingdom is God Save the Queen, which overides the national anthems of the constituant members. I suppose technically the anthem for the EU (ode to joy) could override God Save the Queen - but it wouldn't be very popular.

The British national anthem is God Save the Queen, as for England solely, The English rugby team tried something different about ten years ago but it never caught on.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN, is the English national anthem.

The British National Anthem represents the whole of the UK. However, Wales and Scotland have other songs which they sing, especially when playing against England in sport matches.
Wales, - Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (Land Of My Fathers)
Scotland - Flower of Scotland and Scotland the Brave
England too has its own song or songs. William Blake's Jerusalem and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot are often sung. Another popular song is Land of Hope and Glory, which was sung at the first England match of the 2006 Six Nations.

God save the queen but i think it should be Jerusalem - think that is more uplifting and pride. Gives me a lump in my throat every time
