Coronation Anniversary

On July 6—the anniversaries of the King Mindaugas's 1253 coronation and Lithuanian statehood—Lithuanians around the world gathered at 21:00 (Lithuanian time) to sing the national anthem.
 
Here are videos from: Brazil; Washington, D.C.; Ireland ; Ireland, again, but with doggie cameos; the U.K.; Lithuanian kayakers; Moscow; Moldovia; Australia; Greece, in 2012; and finally, a montage.

(And if you're keeping track, then you might want to know that July 6 also is the birthday of George W. Bush and Nancy Reagan).
