'Ello chaps, This day in History is remarkable for us Brits. On this day the 28th of September in the year of our lord, 1745 His Most Britannic Majesty, King George II attended the Dury Lane Theatre with without his creampuffs following a performance of "The Alchemist" by which renowned British Composer Thomas Arne (Yes, the chap who wrote RULE BRITANNIA :p) preformed the first public hearing of "God Save the King" which was sung and played in support after the defeat at the Battle of Prestonpans by the army of Charles Edward Stuart. As you might know the "Forty-Five" of this blasted Rebellion shall be quelled and in spirit Field Marshal Wade shall defeat the "Rebellious Scots" :/

Lyrics: ~Standard Version 

God bless our noble King, 

God save great George our King, God save the King.

Send him victorious,

Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the King.

O Lord our God arise, Scatter his enemies, And make them fall;

Confound their Politicks, Frustrate their knavish Tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix. God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store On him be pleased to pour, <p style="text-align:center;">Long may he reign.

<p style="text-align:center;">May he defend our laws, <p style="text-align:center;">And ever give us cause, <p style="text-align:center;">To say with Heart and Voice, <p style="text-align:center;">God save the King.

<p style="text-align:center;">Additional Verse to boost Moral and give luck to Field Marshal Wade <p style="text-align:center;">Lord, grant that Marshal Wade <p style="text-align:center;">May, by thy mighty aid, <p style="text-align:center;">Victory bring. <p style="text-align:center;">May he sedition hush <p style="text-align:center;">And, like a torrent, rush <p style="text-align:center;">Rebellious Scots to crush. <p style="text-align:center;">God save the King.
