Antigua and Barbuda
"Fair Antigua, We Salute Thee"

Words by: Novelle Hamilton Richards
Music by: Walter Garnet Picart Chambers
Adopted: 1967

Upon achieving statehood in the commonwealth in 1967, Antigua adopted this anthem, albeit with somewhat different lyrics. When full independence was granted in 1981, Antigua, now linked with Barbuda, adopted the current lyrics with the melody in use since 1967.
