No- We'll see France in a bar in Spain the day before we return to the UK
I would object most strongly to having to stand for the Liechtenstein National Anthem (or the US "America" (aka "My Country 'Tis of Thee") either!).

Free publicity for a mediocre tea shop. Nothing to see here, move along please.
Apparently in '40s and '50s there was a frantic scramble to get out of cinemas at the end of the show, before the national anthem started.
at the end of the show, before the national anthem started. A few people did that. Not many. Mostly bolshies.

I always thought that they were just trying to make sure that they could catch the last bus home.

I'd love to be able to do what my dad does in that on hearing the anthem stands and lets out a loud rumbling FART . Now that's class :-)
cinemas at the end of the show, before the national anthem started.
And well into the late 60s, as I recall.
Aye, but you're an old reactionary.
'America' is not the US national anthem.

who stands at attention during the Queen's speech, even when he plays back his recording of it.
but it had nothing to do with the anthem.. its the same reason people leave football matches early.. the infrastructure can't cope and you end up in big queues.
That was still the case in the 70s and 80s...
A minority of the audience stayed and stood.
Reminds me of Alf Garnett.
I was in the RAF training in the 50s, the cinema (as all RAF stations was the Astra) as the film can towards the end there was a rush to the exits, obviously many did not wish to stand for the Queen. I never do now, though I had to while in the RAF.

Cathy I'm lost I said though I knew she was sleeping...

Before my time. I believe you.
So wait and kiss the gf until the queues have gone.
The last time I left the cinema early was when I knew the fire alarm was going to go off. I did not want to be stuck behind the queue of a 10 screen multiplex emptying at the same time.
