“Although several distinguished Russians were present, the band did not play the Internationale at the Englandi-Scotland soccer match on Saturday. The “Evening Standard’s” diarist says the advice not to play the Internationale came from the Foreign Office. “This was a gross piece of ill-manners,” the diarist says. The band played the National AJnthem and then the Yugoslav Anthem in honour of King Peter of Yugoslavia, who was present. Then came an awkward pause.
