Beautiful Jersey or Man Bieau P'tit Jèrri is a Jersey patriotic song, sung in Jèrriais and English. It was composed by an Englishman, Lindsay Lennox, who died in 1906.[1][2] During the Occupation, islanders would sing the song to keep their spirits up.[3] Today it is performed at Liberation Day and as Jersey's national anthem at some sporting events.[4][1]
