    I'm an evertonian but LFC have made the city proud there.
  • I was the stands you didn't know the anthem was playing ,got well drowned out
  • @nikolas4559
    Just when I thought it was impossible to love Liverpool fans more, they go and do this. They are a truly enlightened bunch.
  • The more I watch this the funnier it is. Virgil, bless him, looking like he fears everyone's going to get done for treason.

  • Easily the best coronation video yet. A round of applause for the Liverpool fans.
  • The English are well known for their booing of other countries national anthems so at least they are consistent by booing their own.
  • I'm a Leeds fan. I'd just like to say thank you to the Liverpool fans for this. I absolutely hate our national anthem. I refuse to grovel to the royals. Bunch of pirates.
  • Total respect to Liverpool supporters from a Celtic fan.
  • @shagg1y64
    It takes a lot to make me praise LFC, but this is superb.
  • @danwarb1
    Well done to those Liverpool fans.
  • @silo2003
    'you can pay for it, but don't you dare protest it. 'What a total waste of tax payer money, when we have people that can't eat or heat their homes. Well done LFC
