The Punks

God Save the Queen is a patriotic song used as the British national anthem. It is widely sung throughout the Commonwealth realm during official occasions.

In 1977 during Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee, a punk rock band called The Sex Pistols released an anarchistic and anti-royalist song with the same title. Attempting to play the song from a boat on the river Thames outside the Palace of Westminster on the Jubilee holiday itself (a day which was billed as a national party), the band was arrested by the British police.
