'God Save the Queen' is the de facto British national anthem and has this role in some British territories (commonwealth) as well.
It does alter over time depending upon the current monarchy, eg, if the monarchy were ruled by a king the anthem would change to God Save The King.
The americans use the same melody for a song called 'my country tis of thee.'

How many national anthems will be played at the 2012 olympic games?
There is no way of knowing that answer right now because we don't know how many different countries will win gold medals during the Olympics.

We do know that, at the Opening Ceremony, the national anthem of the host country will be played. The host country for the 2012 Summer Olympics is the United Kingdom so its national anthem will be played. We do know that, at the Closing Ceremony, the national anthem of Greece, the host country, and the country to hold the next Summer Olympics will be played. That means, along with the national anthem of Greece, the national anthems of the United Kingdom and Brazil will also be played.
