The "Gibraltar Anthem" is the national song and local anthem of the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, adopted in 1994. In common with the United Kingdom, Crown dependencies and other British territories, the official national anthem of Gibraltar is "God Save the King". Both the lyrics and music were composed by Peter Emberley, a composer from Dorset who had never visited Gibraltar. Willey and Bridges, who had been jurors in the 1967 and 1968 Gibraltar Song Festivals, had submitted it to the 1969 festival under a pseudonym. Balloons were released during the anthem, but this was stopped in favour of red and white ticker paper for environmental reasons.
