Mason Mount and Luke Shaw among England stars to get National Anthem words wrong

England players including Mason Mount and Luke Shaw were ridiculed online after getting the words to the National Anthem wrong just before Monday's World Cup opener against Iran.

The anthem, which is now 'God Save the King' following the death of Queen Elizabeth II earlier this year, was sung before the match as is customary before all international fixtures - but the change appeared to catch a couple of England's players out.

Mount and Shaw were the unfortunate players who were in front of the camera during the anthem and were caught singing 'Queen' instead of 'King' in Qatar - which was promptly spotted by eagle-eyed fans online.
