"God Save The Queen" (alternatively "God Save The King" during the reign of a male sovereign) is an anthem used in a number of Commonwealth realms, their territories, and the British Crown Dependencies. The words and title are adapted to the gender of the current monarch, i.e. replacing "Queen" with "King", "she" with "he", and so forth, when a king reigns. The author of the tune is unknown, but a 1619 attribution to John Bull is sometimes made. "God Save The King" is the British national anthem and also has this role in some British territories. Beyond its first verse, which is consistent, it has many historic and extant versions. Since its first publication, different verses have been added and taken away and, even today, different publications include various selections of verses in various orders. The sovereign and his or her consort are saluted with the entire anthem, while other members of the royal family who are entitled to royal salute (such as the Prince of Wales) receive just the first six bars.. The Royal Сoat of Arms of Great Britain was the coat of arms representing royal authority in the sovereign state of the Kingdom of Great Britain, in existence from 1707 to 1801. The kingdom came into being on 1 May 1707, with the political union of the kingdom of Scotland and the kingdom of England, which included Wales. With the 1706 Treaty of Union it was agreed to create a single kingdom, encompassing the whole of the island of Great Britain and its outlying islands, but not Ireland, which remained a separate realm under the newly created British crown.On 1 January 1801, the royal arms of Great Britain were superseded by those of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, when Great Britain was united with the Kingdom of Ireland by the Acts of Union of 1800 following the suppression of the Irish Rebellion of 1798.

The design dated from the early 17th century, when it was ordered by King James VI and I to be used on ships on the high seas, and it subsequently came into use as a national flag following the Treaty of Union and Acts of Union 1707, gaining a regularized status as "the Ensign armorial of the Kingdom of Great Britain", the newly created state. It was then adopted by land forces as well, although the blue field used on land-based versions more closely resembled that of the blue of the flag of Scotland. The flag consists of the red cross of Saint George, patron saint of England, superimposed on the Saltire of Saint Andrew, patron saint of Scotland. Its correct proportions are 1:2. The flag's official use came to an end in 1801 with the creation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. At that time Saint Patrick's Flag was added to the flag of Great Britain to create the present-day Union Flag. Describe the flag of the UK.

Brighton London Cardiff Liverpool Manchester Edinburgh Glasgow Nottingham Located in the center of the city, Cardiff Castle stands on a site once occupied by a Roman fort, parts of which (the walls, 4th century polygon bastions and the north gate) have been preserved and partially restored. The castle is in fact three fortresses in one. Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden is the second oldest such garden in Britain. Within its magnificent 70-acres are a herbarium and Britain's biggest palm house, a tropical house with exotic orchids, an alpine house, a terraced moorland garden, a heather garden, and an extensive arboretum with rare giant trees from the Himalayas, North America and China. Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London and often extended to refer to the clock and the clock tower. The tower holds the largest four-faced chiming clock in the world and is the third-tallest free-standing clock tower. The tower was completed in 1858. The tower has become one of the most prominent symbols of the United Kingdom. The University of Glasgow dates from 1451 and is the second-oldest school of higher education in Scotland. The University boasts many illustrious teachers including James Watt, Adam Smith and the "father of antiseptic surgery", Joseph Lister. Nottingham's old city center is a highlight of the city and home to several important attractions. Nottingham's Old Market Square, the largest in England, is where you'll find the Nottingham Tourism Centre, an important first stop before exploring the city. On the east side of the square is the neo-Classical Council House, crowned by an imposing dome, and the impressive Guildhall is also close by. The Royal Pavilion is difficult to miss. Located in the center of Brighton just steps from the sea, the pavilion's extraordinary peaks and spires look as if they'd be more at home in India. That was certainly the intention of architect John Nash, who designed the summer palace for the Prince of Wales (later George IV) in the Indian Mogul style. The imposing facade of the neo-Gothic Town Hall (1877) graces pedestrianized Albert Square in Manchester, and the tower offers excellent panoramic views of the city. Inside, the Council Chamber merits special attention, along with the cycle of Fort Madox Brown paintings that depict the history of the city. The Pier Head area of Liverpool includes the traditional trio of harbor buildings known as the Three Graces: the Port of Liverpool Building, the Cunard Building (named after Canadian Samuel Cunard, owner of the first shipping line from Liverpool-Halifax-Boston), and the Royal Liver Building. It's also where you'll find the Titanic Memorial commemorating the "Heroes in the Engine Room" on the luxury liner which sank in 1912; the Queen Victoria Monument; and the Georgian Town Hall, built in 1754 with its lovely copper cupola crowned by a statue of Minerva.
