GB National Anthem

Has anyone else noticed that the GB national anthem sounds a bit strange?
It seems to change key before going into the "Send her victorious" part?

Copyright issues?? It was composed several 100 years ago, so there is no copyright!
Any orchestra can record it themselves. The recoding it self is under copyright, but not the sheet music

I swear other countries have longer anthems than ours too!

They have all been changed to fit the time of the medal cermony, the copyright is with other olympics as they each have to shorten it and they can't use the same version from the previous olympics so they have to do it in a different way.

Fair enough then!
