It was, after all, a line in the 'Coronation Ode' written by AC Benson to accompany Elgar's 'Pomp and Circumstance March No 1' music. It was for Edward VII's coronation and he - just like the present monarch - was King of Great Britain and not just England. So, it is an 'anthem' only in the sense that 'Flower of Scotland' is an 'anthem'...ie merely an occasional one.
