Regional anthem of the Bailiwick of Guernsey
LyricsGeorge Deighton, 1911

"Sarnia Cherie" (English: Dear Guernsey) is used as the unofficial anthem of Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands. Sarnia is a traditional Latin name for the island.[1] George Deighton wrote "Sarnia Cherie" in 1911, with Domenico Santangelo composing the tune later the same year.

The anthem can be heard on a number of occasions each year, every 9 May Liberation Day,[1] at Island Games gold medal ceremonies,[1] the annual Viaër Marchi community festival in July, inter-island sporting events, etc.
