On coronation day, Liverpool supporters jeer the national anthem.

Liverpool fans loudly booed the national anthem ahead of their Premier League clash with Brentford on Saturday, drowning out the song with chants of “Liverpool.” This was due to the city’s left-wing political leanings, its large Irish population, and its residents’ general distaste for the establishment. In a statement before the game, Liverpool FC said that it had been asked by the Premier League to play the anthem before kick-off to mark the “historic occasion” of King Charles III’s coronation. Hundreds of anti-monarchist protesters held a rally at Trafalgar Square, with at least seven of them arrested on suspicion of plotting a “public nuisance.”
