Island Home (anthem)
"Island Home" is a musical composition that the Bailiwick of Jersey, a Crown Dependency, lists as its anthem. It was written and composed by musician Gerard Le Feuvre. The song was written in 2002 and adopted in 2008 after a contest to find an official anthem for Jersey. However, more than a decade after the contest, the anthem has not received official government ratification. Background Traditionally, Jersey used the British national anthem, "God Save the Queen" (or "God Save the King"), as a symbol of loyalty to the Crown. When times came for a unique individual song to be used as Jersey's anthem because many other states also used "God Save the Queen", Jersey had two unofficial options.

The other was " Beautiful Jersey", ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The author of the tune is unknown and it may originate in plainchant, but an attribution to the composer John Bull is sometimes made. "God Save the King" is the ''de facto'' national anthem of the United Kingdom and one of two national anthems used by New Zealand since 1977, as well as for several of the UK's territories that have their own additional local anthem. It is also the royal anthem—played specifically in the presence of the monarch—of the aforementioned countries, in addition to Australia (since 1984), Canada (since 1980), Belize (since 1981), Antigua and Barbuda (since 1981), The Bahamas (since 1973), and most other Commonwealth realms.
