‘God Save the King’, intoned for the first time in the cathedral of San Pablo in a mass in memory of Elizabeth II

The event, which began at 7:00 p.m. Spanish time, was attended by the British Prime Minister, Liz Truss; opposition leader Keir Starmer; and the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, according to the BBC. Along with them, nearly 2,000 other anonymous citizens, after being accredited by the Local Information Center in the gardens of Carter Lane, have been able to enter the London cathedral to pay tribute tribute to the monarch.Then, the designated dean, Andrew Tremlett, in charge of leading the mass, took the floor to remember the queen for her “long life of service” to the country and the member states of the Commonwealth.For her On the other hand, Truss, dressed in a black mourning dress, has risen from the front rows of the cathedral to go to the altar and read the Epistle to the Romans, the sixth book of the New Testament in which it is stated that “we live or die , of the Lord we are”. At the end of the mass, the attendees sang the national anthem for the first time with the lyrics changed, instead of ‘God Save the Queen’, they sang ‘God Save the King’. The United Kingdom has adopted a new official anthem since Thursday that pays tribute to the ‘king’ instead of the ‘queen’, in a symbolic change that accounts for the accession to the throne of Carlos III replacing the late Elizabeth II. “God save the Queen” which Britons have chanted for seven decades is now “God save the King”, a term first heard on Thursday from the mouth of the Prime Minister, Liz Truss. The new lyrics, which also involves adapting pronouns, have also sounded around Buckingham Palace, where thousands of people are crowded who want to pay their particular tribute to Elizabeth II and welcome to the new monarch.
