Last Night Of The Proms Bbc1

[Bobbisox1]

Absolutely brilliant ,we knock the Beeb but by God they do it right with this
Loved it

[rockyracoon]

Totally agree. Just listening to Jerusalem now. Love it

[Bobbisox1]

Me too Rocky

[rockyracoon]

Not liking that National Anthem though, sounds like a dirge

[chrissa1]

Not so many EU flags this year.

[rockyracoon]

That’s better

[NellieMay]

Spoilt for me by all the EU flags, hats and t-shirts right down at the front. Really no need to make this about brexit. it was obviously arranged. It's a British traditional event. It's about Britain.

Apart from this it was superb as usual. I have enjoyedvthr promos this year and seen quite a fewo n BBC4

[brainiac]

What a brilliant arrangement of 'God Save the Queen' by Benjamin Britten - manages to make a mournful dirge stirring and moving. Should be used at every opportunity.

[Bobbisox1]

I admit not knowing the second verse of our national anthem

[chrissa1]

There were a lot less than in ensuing years, Nelliemay.

[brainiac]

...and it's NOT 'for the sake of' auld lang syne!

[cashier]

Fabulous as usual. Spoilt by all the EU hats and flags.

[brainiac]

How about this verse from the NA, Bobbi:

Let her sedition hush
And like a torrent rush
Rebellious Scots to crush -
God save the Queen

[Bobbisox1]

Not heard of that brainiac but I assume it has some kinda meaning but I prefer I listen to it as it is :0)

[NellieMay]

Well, that's something Chrissa. I didn't see it last year. Really makes me cross though. I find it quite disrespectful.

[brainiac]

The Jacobites, Bobbi

[Bobbisox1]

Nope, don't care about Jacobites lol, just love TLN OF TP

[douglas9401]

If she could 'sedition hush' she'd have seen off that posturing tawt Johnson and his lies.
No chance against rebellious Scots.

[DTCwordfan]

actually it was a bit flat this year, no pun intended.....

always love the Britten anthem - far better than that awful Germanic version. We don't need another anthem with this version.

[bednobs]

actually it felt a bit flat to me too. that woman was awful too (not that i could do any better)

[naomi24]

Spoilt for me by soloist Jamie Barton’s Rainbow flag. This isn’t about you or your foibles, Jamie. It’s about this country and ‘US’. Next time, have the Union flat at the ready!
