"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. 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, such as every 9 May Liberation Day, at Island Games gold medal ceremonies, the annual Viaër Marchi community festival in July, and inter-island sporting events.
