We sat (at no extra cost) in seats alongside the choir, brilliant.
The girl told us of one woman who, when she saw how high it was as she went through the opening, almost fainted.
They literally had to peel her off the wall!

Let's do this, do that, exactly as it is always done, everyone will laugh because they have been schooled to not because they still find it funny, surely???I find it all so tiresome, predictable and along with the pseudopatriotic, manufactured fervour, recalling a past that never existed, I think I will give it a miss in future.
Seeing people taking part and enjoying themselves is all part of the experience of the Proms and I for one would not like to see that disappear no matter how old hat it comes across to some, including yourself.
For the sake of cameras some Prommers may have been asked if they wanted to bob up and down but many did and they sure as heck enjoyed themselves whilst doing so

Re: Last night of the proms
Just watched my recording of the Last Night of The Proms.Was amazed, and delighted, when they got to rousing finale, as the Male Soloist Revealed, firstly, a huge Union Jack &, then, a Canadian Flag.
The whole thing had a great feeling of Britishness about it.
Land Of Hope And Glory - Wow!
Well done the BBC!
Anyone else impressed?
