Much of its core systems were developed in the 20th century by British lawyers and ever member states takes part fully in the legislatution-making. By your logic, Kent should leave England because our laws are made in London and not Canterbury.

[@abatesnz]

@@edskeates5357 But it is fundamentally a civil law continental legal system, which is a top-down, overbearing and ultimately wrong approach to law. Only common law is consistent with liberty, because it presumes us to be free to do as we please unless something has been explicitly banned (and through 700 years of discovery, those things that were banned were things that were found to have a victim). So no matter what work those British lawyers did, the foundations were compromised and they could never erect a framework for freedom.

KekskruemelReloaded The DDR National Anthem wasn’t bad. It was fairly stirring, had worthy motives even if naïve ones and at least it didn’t worship whichever species of Emperor was current. Frankly, regardless of nationality or ideology, National Anthems as such tend to the banal. Songs such as “Land of Hope and Glory” and (much better) “Jerusalem” are more to the point because they express desire to serve our fellow human beings.

日本の国旗があって嬉しい！ 日本でもこういうのやりたいな

Look at all the different national flags that are flying. Some from nations that we were at war with 70 years ago but now all welcome and brought together by these promenade concerts. This is one of Britain's gifts to the world.

[@rainydayz6429]

I’m not British but god bless them for doing this

[@turmuthoer]

I've always been surprised to see Japanese and South Korean flags in the audience for some reason. Perhaps because they were never in the British sphere of influence/close neighbours like most others. They just seem to be more out of place than even American or French flags. Not saying they don't belong there, just that I'm surprised they'd be interested in something as nationalistic as Last Night of the Proms.

we were at war, saxon954. right said. greetings from Italy.

Timestamps 2:51, 4:58, and 7:14 are where everyone -- including the audience in the Royal Albert Hall -- except the BBC Symphony Orchestra, starts singing along with this tune.

[@03lbcee]

We truly are standing on the shoulders of giants-Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free.

This would be the third time I've played this video, and my heart is still pumping fast and I'm still shaking my hands! Beautiful, just beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Mexico!

My grandmother died today (Friday, 07th Oct.). I listened and sang to this 3 hours non-stop. It's very therapeutic. The lyrics can well be taken for a soul that is set free and back with God now.

[@helenchelmicka]

So sorry for your loss. I'm glad this has helped you ❤

[@elizabethmh_465]

sorry for your loss

[@merclinhd3]

I love how the conductor is sweating profusely. Never knew his was such an intense task.

[@どこかのだれか-m6d]

とても感動しました。私はこの曲が使われてきた歴史について深く知りませんが、この曲は皆さんとともに長く深く愛されてきたのでしょう。これからも、多くの人に愛されるこの曲とともに、世界も愛されますように。

[@brndxt]

A wonderful masterpiece, and very British...

[@dibarra5461]

Awesome masterpiece and awesome country!!! I salute you from Mexico!!!

[@MrDaiseymay]

THANKS, BUT WE'LL NEED MORE THAN PRAISE, TO ESCAPE THE TREACHERY OF THIS PARLIAMENT

[@JOAMELJESS]

Mexico hates Argentina too hehe we love you for that

[@afrini]

This is so British my phone turned into a red telephone box

[@lonebeagle]

The audience is SO passionate! Love it!!! Cheers from America!

[@HerraKayttajatunnus]

God this me gives goosebumps. BTW funny thing is that I know Sakari Oramo personally, and knew that he is a conductor okay, no other details leaked - very modest guy, But when this clip came up I was flabbergasted : Sakari Oramo conducting BBC symphony orchestra in Royal Albert Hall in BBC proms! As I said very down to earth guy in a good way.

I am now in Y8, I still remember I graduated one and a half years ago, and this is the graduation song. I still can't believe I actually graduated. Primary was the best moment ever in my life. Although secondary is good, I miss primary life so much, time flies and I know that I could never get back anymore.

[@Aidansim511]

I do love my country.

[@hkwf]

British is a great nation and contributed the most for the modern world since 19 C.

[@n.n.3447]

Including colonization of countries in Asia, Africa and around the world? Many of today's problems are due to this period. Palestine, Kashmir, Pakistan and India, Sudan, etc etc. Good contribution?

[@hkwf]

​@@n.n.3447it depends what you like the world to be, you can appreciate the ancient state of the mentioned countries before colonization era

This wonderful music brings me back to 1958 and the graduation ceremony at Teaneck (NJ) High School. .. always brings a tear to my eye.

[@Blake9887]

My best friend went to Teaneck a few years ago but this song makes me miss my days at St. Andrews
