Elgar - Pomp and Circumstance March No.1

Top choice, but it does have "issues"

Although Elgar is often regarded as a typically English composer, most of his musical influences were not from England but from continental Europe. He felt himself to be an outsider, not only musically, but socially. In musical circles dominated by academics, he was a self-taught composer; in Protestant Britain, his Roman Catholicism was regarded with suspicion in some quarters; and in the class-conscious society of Victorian and Edwardian Britain, he was acutely sensitive about his humble origins even after he achieved recognition. He nevertheless married the daughter of a senior British army officer. She inspired him both musically and socially, but he struggled to achieve success until his forties, when after a series of moderately successful works his Enigma Variations (1899) became immediately popular in Britain and overseas. He followed the Variations with a choral work, The Dream of Gerontius (1900), based on a Roman Catholic text that caused some disquiet in the Anglican establishment in Britain, but it became, and has remained, a core repertory work in Britain and elsewhere. His later full-length religious choral works were well received but have not entered the regular repertory.

Well, if he was a Brexiteer then he would have holidayed under the domes of Brighton Pavillion with a knotted hanky on his head.

I youtoobe searched it, and crikey, I remember that shit. The prominence of the American Hammond organ didn't go unnoticed, but you had me at "ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to thank the British Glue Corporation for all their help in my moustache"

"Walton - Crown Imperial

Walton derived the march's title from the line "In beawtie berying the crone imperiall" from William Dunbar's poem "In Honour of the City of London"

There might or might not be a slight Scottish connection going on here.

Just sayin
