The composer of Jerusalem has been effectively ‘cancelled’ by the Royal College of Music (RCM) because his views on race a century ago are unacceptably offensive to today’s woke students, The Mail on Sunday understands.

Sir Hubert Parry is celebrated for his music to the words of the poet William Blake, and is a favourite of King Charles.

Three rooms at the elite college of which he was a director for almost a quarter of a century have long borne his name.
