Queen performed God Save The Queen (the british national anthem) at the end of all their concerts from very early on, as a tribute to the queen (not themselves), and so they put it on the end of this album, as it was a night at the opera it clearly had to finish with their trademark bang.
Sex Pistols did do a version of God Save The Queen (which was banned in England), and that was basically a satire. Although, I don't know about Sid Vicious but Jonny Rotten was definitely a Queen fan, I once heard a story about how he snuck in while Queen was recording, crawled up to Freddie's piano, said "Hello Freddie" and crawled back out again.
