This (along with "Britannia Rules the Waves") is about as British as you can get (IMHO). When I was about 8 years old I would wake up on weekend mornings to a radio program of marching band music. "Pomp & Circumstance" was my all-time favorite.

If it is not inappropriate for a commoner like myself (USA common-folk) to do so, I would like to offer best wishes to Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on becoming the longest reigning UK monarch. I was in high school when she became queen. I loved all that pomp and circumstance as I watched it on TV back in 1952.

(note: I finally have recovered from a total hard drive crash. I now have a newly formatted 2 TB drive for my video's and can enjoy creating more of them again.)

From Wikipedia:
----------------------------------------------------------
The Pomp and Circumstance Marches (full title Pomp and Circumstance Military Marches), Op. 39, are a series of marches for orchestra composed by Sir Edward Elgar.

March N0. 1:

The best known of the set, it had its premiere, along with the more reserved second March, in Liverpool on 19 October 1901, with Elgar conducting the Liverpool Orchestral Society. Both marches were played two days later at a London Promenade Concert in the Queen's Hall London, conducted by Henry Wood, with March No. 1 played second, and the audience "...rose and yelled... the one and only time in the history of the Promenade concerts that an orchestral item was accorded a double encore."

The Trio contains the tune known as "Land of Hope and Glory". In 1902 the tune was re-used, in modified form, for the Land of hope and glory section of his Coronation Ode for King Edward VII. The words were further modified to fit the original tune, and the result has since become a fixture at the Last Night of the Proms, and an English sporting anthem.

In the United States, the Trio section "Land of Hope and Glory" of March No. 1 is often known simply as "Pomp and Circumstance" or as "The Graduation March" and is played as the processional tune at virtually all high school and some college graduation ceremonies
