Change the national Anthem to "Rule Britannia" or "Land of hope and glory."
As a multicultural united kingdom we ought to have an equally political and religiously unbiased national anthem. Besides I am sure the Queen would love a change of song.
We all could just hum the best bit from Land of hope and glory, that way everyone can join in!

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
This isn’t something that the UK Government or Parliament would be able to do. The use of the present National Anthem is a matter of tradition rather than having any legal or constitutional status.
