    You don't need to be british to be moved by this. Seeing all the different flags waving together and hearing the audience singing in unity was very beautiful to me.

    The BBC spends millions, you think they just could employ someone with sense enough to see this is part of UK culture. Shame on anyone who says it should be stopped.

      Hey, respects to you over there in Germany.
      This is the Promenade Concerts held at the Albert Hall.
      Promenade..because on the last night...the Promenaders, as can be seen, stand and sing anthems as the orchestra plays. Its been like this for decades, even when our countries have been at war.
      It's a symbol of unity, inspiration, hope and Britishness.
      Regrettably, spoiled by Lefty Marxist Scum who want to spoil everything that's good decent and wholesome.
      Good party though !!
      Respects from the UK.

    I'm from America and I didn't know anything about this part of British patriotism until about 10 years ago. This is awesome! I get chills as a Yank watching this so I can imagine how you all feel. Our Countries both have had to put up with people telling us we should be ashamed our our pasts even as they're beating down a path to get in by any means legal or not. Our politeness and good nature have allowed them to push us to this point but I say enough. Being proud of your culture and your history for either of our two Countries is nothing to be ashamed of. We should all know by now that their intentions are not honorable. They don't wish to change us for the better, they want to rewrite our past and change our future to suit them. The truth is without the influence and sacrifices of young soldiers, sailors and airmen in the 2 world wars of the 20th Century, things would have been much worse than they already were.

I was only 17 years old at the time but I’m now 21 and I continue to be supported by the Holocaust foundations as I continue my interest in the tragedy that unfolded during the war. I should have been recognised by the late Queen for this or maybe the princess Royal might have noticed it

    Where else can we understand what makes a nation? The best of British patriotism comes from the deepest part of the heart and is a vibrant prayer to God. This song expresses a positive view of human history, one guided by the Providence. Here, United Kingdom sings together as a nation chosen by Heaven for a worldwide mission. We think then of the many scentits, writers, missionaries, businessmen born in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, who brought values to the rest of the world. Every nation had its dark side, but this piece expresses the very good points of Great Britain. I am French but I really see Great Britain as the homeland of some of my most cherished ideals
