Manchester terrorist attack victims honored at Yankee Stadium with 'God Save the Queen'

A day after a suicide bomber killed 22 fans leaving an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, the Yankees honored victims by playing United Kingdom national anthem "God Save the Queen" before their game against the Kansas City Royals at Yankee Stadium on May 23, 2017.

[@kennethmiro6955]

God bless our friends in the UK. I was born and raised in New York and witnessed the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. I was at this game and said to my buddy going in to the stadium that they should play "God Save The Queen." I'm glad they did. The USA will always be there for our closest ally, just as Great Britain stood by the American people through our dark times. Much love for the UK.

Wow, as a Brit it’s pretty moving to see the national anthem played by another country in an act of solidarity.

[@DonDonP1]

That is so nice of the Yankees playing "God Save the Queen,:" the basis for various patriotic and folk tunes (including S.F. Smith's "America"), written around two centuries before "O Canada." Thanks for sharing. #MachesterStrong. #EnglandStrong. #BritainStrong.

Andy Magee Americans in General. I’m American and I love the Uk. In fact I live in England my fiancé is English.

[@Mr._Magee]

Americans in general - how do I answer this question? You see there's a lot of good and there's a lot of bad. I love American comedians who make me laugh. I love Americans who write brilliant music. I love Americans who make great films. I love Americans who take great photographs or create great art. I love Americans who write great books. I dislike the ones who are violent. So in general, yes Rick.

[@educateyou3679]

Andy Magee cool I’m American and I love the UK. In fact I live in England my fiancé is English. Do you live in England if I may ask? I agree even here in Britain you guys have cunts too.
