To change the National Anthem to the hymn "Jerusalem"

Additional Information

A petition to change the anthem played during English International sporting events to the hymn "Jerusalem" and to keep "God Save The Queen" as a UK anthem.

Jerusalem is played before England Cricket test matches and some UK athletes prefer to have Jerusalem played when they are receiving medals on the podium.

Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland all have individual national anthems which are truly moving, inspirational and highlight how great their country is so why shouldn't England have one too?
