Riffing off the musical theme and patriotism, here’s The Motherhood March from Hello Dolly.
I stand for motherhood, America, and a hot lunch for orphns…

 
I’m not British, but Rule Britannia may very well be my favourite patriotic song.
 
Wow, I was skeptical, but that new version is wonderful! Thanks, @Limoncello4021!
 
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
 

Not from Ireland myself, but we lived there for some time and this song always makes me homesick for Ireland!
Edit: Now how do I get the video to play directly and not just the link displayed?

Try putting a line space between the URL and your text “Not from Ireland…”

If that doesn’t work, it may be that the Youtube uploader has disabled embedding.

No, doesn’t work either or the other thing I tried, but thanks for the suggestion!

“Proud to be an American” by Lee Greenwood.

I got to see him at our county fair, I think it was 2002 or 2003. I think that whole crowd stood or cried during that song! It was a difficult time for our country after 9/11.
I can’t believe 19 years later there are so many citizens who hate our country.

Not just my favorite patriotic song, but my favorite song period.

Years ago I saw him at a free concert in Boston and he tailored the song to the occasion (". . . there’s pride in every Bostonian heart . . .") .

Being an old school country fan, another patriotic favorite would be “The Fightin’ Side of Me” by Merle Haggard.
 
God Bless America, by Kate Smith. Also, America, the Beautiful. I like the other ones, too, but those are my favorites.
 
“I Vow To Thee My Country”. It’s associated with the UK, but I like its third verse with the connection to the Kingdom of God:

And there’s another country
I’ve heard of, long ago
Most dear to them that love her,
Most great to them that know
We may not count her armies
We may not see her King
Her fortress is a faithful heart
Her pride is suffering
And soul by soul and silenty
Her shining bounds increase
And her ways are ways of gentleness
All her paths are peace.
