Last Night At The Proms

[flump1]

Well that was glorious, roll on next year !

[anagram]

Totally agree :)

That Britten version of the Queen is by far away the best version of a turgid anthem and it ought to be the main anthem for all events.

[Cloverjo]

Did I miss a song? Did they do the usual tooting, flag-waving, bending knees tune? (Can't think what it's called)

[margie04]

Sailor's hornpipe?

[Cloverjo]

I think that's the one, Margie. Did they play it?

[marval]

Yes it was good, I don't think they played the Sailor's hornpipe.

[sandyRoe]

Don't they usually have a 'fat lady' rather than a thin man do the singing?

[Obiter]

The fat lady went out years ago. That's when I stopped watching.

[Cloverjo]

They did have a lady - not fat- doing some singing. I enjoyed the Mary Poppins songs.

[DTCwordfan]

Yep but he was rather good, his rendition of those American songs that he had re-arranged was tremendous and what a powerful voice he had, almost puts Bryn Terfel in the shade.

[Baldric]

Getting on a bit now, but a goodie!

Britain at its patriotic best! But I must say I didn't like that version of the God Save The Queen - it's not a lively song at the best of times but that was far too slow.

[Mags22]

Just caught last 15 mins, didn't see anything from Wales or Scotland, weren't they included this year?

[poorclare]

oops how could I fall asleep watching this, I love it but missed the last 20 minutes, must be old age. Still remember the many times went to the RAH
in the 60's 70's 80's & 90's. oh those were the days.
