ANTHEM'S SUNG-
England's Anthem- God Save The Queen

God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen
God save the Queen
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
God save the Queen

Scotland's Anthem- The Flower of Scotland

O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

FARRELL GETS THE THREE POINTS

JOHN----
My first memory of Delme Thomas, is of watching a match in my friend's house when I was about 11, and her father laughing and shouting "DELME THOMAS WITH HIS SLEEVES ROLLED UP!" Whenever I hear Delme Thomas' name now, I hear him saying that! :-D :-D
