Land of Hope and Glory - Last Night of the Proms 2011

[@MrRoberesp]

I am not british, not even english spoken as first language. I am from south america and would like to tell you all British people: How proud you should be. You are all an example of what we all as human kind wish to be. LOVE BRITANIA!

[@zamiadams4343]

Love you brother, from West London UK.

[@TrainsByUzair]

I'm of Pakistani descent - 16 years old. Lived in London all my life. I have to say I bloody love the UK. The BBC Proms is a great event!

[@englishrose1957]

I love Britain although I am german. But there is nothing better than the Queen, roast beef, yorkshire pud., emmerdale, corry etc. Keep on you Brits, stay the way you are and keep your wonderful traditions and of course the Pound...... and keep driving left! Looking foreward to coming back to my 2nd Home Britian in September.... God save the Queen

[@barny1109]

this song to me is what Britain is, it's what made Britain great and what makes it, to this day, still a real power in the world. we embrace the strengths of those who join us, we don't segregate, yes we made mistakes but in the end we accept. i am proud to my very being to be a Brit because despite all the mistakes, we endure, we persist and we are stronger for all the different peoples that make Britain great

[@heywoodjerbloume]

I am Canadian but I get chocked up hearing this tune.It reminds me of a Lancaster Bomber badly damaged struggling to reach home base and the crew singing this.

[@Whoami691]

I am never prouder to be a brit than when i see the flags of all nations singing our patriotic music peacefully and in one voice.

[@JoshandDave]

i live in great malvern where elgar walked the hills and that gave him the inspiration to create his music. his birthplace is not far from me.

[@johnuhr-henry9508]

What a magnificent night to be part of. I learnt this Anthem 75 years ago when I was in the Australian boys choir. I will never forget that great night when we sung it at the Hobart Town Hall Hobart, Tasmania.

[@MoviesTrue]

I am proud to be British!! Even though I now live State-Side with my three younglings and my Husband, I always watch Last Night of the Proms and this song along with Rule Britannia gets me every time - makes tears come to my eyes because it is such a rousing and touching set of music - quintessential Britain. Long Live the Queen!!

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

What a beautiful to celebrate life. Being an American, it so nice to see other being so patriotic as well. God Bless you all in the upcoming Holidays! Thank you for sharing this video.

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

This video as well as other videos, of Patriotic songs, medleys, whether it be of the UK, Canada, or whomever including my own country, the USA, I love classical music if it has a strong patriotic value, it's something to stir the blood, God Bless all!

I'm an American too, and like you I admire friends who celebrate their own countries, same as American patriots celebrate ours. Seeing the audience, whether Royal Albert Hall or in the parks, singing "Land of Hope & Glory" and "Rule Britannia" was moving. I also liked how how the Brits shared our respect for other nations' nationalism. While most of the flags being waved were of course British, all the foreign visitors waving their own flags (USA, Brazil, Japan, Lebanon, multiple European, etc. etc.) were welcomed as part of the Brits' celebration of patriotism. Even before the NFL's spoiled millionaire brats got into the issue ( #ProtestOnYourOwnTime ), I disliked the trend of celebrity soloists singing our national anthem while the crowd shuts up, instead of just the band (or recording) playing while the crowd sings the anthem. The Brits' Last Night of the Proms understands the audience singing the patriotic lyrics is essential; I wish American corporations (like NFL) arranging our own National Anthem performances would embrace that reality.

[@MsBreakdown666]

God I loved it when my dad played his last night of the proms cassette and this came on. Me and my sister went absolutely mental in the back of the car when this came on. Proud to be British but prouder that everyone from different nations come together ❤️

[@sw00natra]

Watching the "Last Night of the Proms" makes me feel so... patriotic, I'm an American but I stand in solidarity with my English cousins.

[@DonDonP1]

Awesome! Thank you very much indeed for posting! Greetings to you and yours in the United Kingdom from the United States of America!

[@hins108]

It's like they have every form of instrument in the orchestra. Got addicted to this classic piece from the Diamond Jubilee concert. Lord save the Queen.

[@lucasthebobo1068]

Great song! Greetings from Malaysia 🇬🇧🇲🇾

[@ramen__daisuki]

Everyone sings in unison from bottom of their heart, louder and loudely! Quite impressive, so filled my mind with jubilation and tears! We say like i-fuu-dou-dou for the meaning of "the land of hope and groly". only for short moment I could forget my real life, thank you!

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

While in Grad school, I was invited to a week of these fantastic concerts. Thrilling, humorous, and exciting. The audience always jumped right in at the slightest provocation. So much for the "aloof British". I met none of those.

[@teslahertz4916]

Wonderful. I admire the britans to have so many wonderful symphonies. Proud to see my flag being waved at 6:00 twice

What a shame that we are no longer a part of the British commonwealth. I hope that one day Great Britain can take us back just like what it did in Falkland. (though not possible for now) Greeting from Hong Kong.

[@TheEnglishBoney]

Makes you tingle listening to this, and fills you with pride thanks for uploading it. I probley ammount to half your views lol

[@kenbooker5739]

Good old Britain. Lovely music .

[@sprdavis]

I'm a proud Aussie and British subject. Long live the empire, long live the Queen!

[@johnford1959]

This is simply fantastic.

[@1AdrianR]

LIstened Live on Radio 3! Wonderful performance! Thanks so much for posting!

[@takemybreathawayok]

the best!!! the finale is spectacular! love Brits! ^_^

[@PhilippeRR1]

At last I learned those lyrics! So "...wider and wider..." smacks of imperialism. Every bright side of the Sun has its dark side of the Moon. I can't help seeing the glory of the Spitfires downing all the Emiles, H-111's, and Stukas on that 15th day of September 40 when I hear this music. The Union Jack and its anointed RAF stood ALONE for civilization against a barbarous world. Rest in peace Sir Winston! Thank you Sir Edward for this unforgettable music. And it's a French frog saying all this!

[@Sunflowers159]

I love Last Night of the Proms. I've always wanted to be there live. It must be a wonderful experience. I've sung in the Albert Hall 3 times (2 Messiahs and a Verdi Requiem) and it was just out of this world.

[@justme575]

except that it reminds me of graduations I attended, the words are most magnificent - may each of our homelands be a land of hope and glory! oh yeah, I am one of the "cousins" from across the pond ;-)

[@George50809]

I love it so much.

[@zamiadams4343]

God save the King! Long live BRITAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cubanbach]

@1163Kurt Love you for that Kurt, I have loved everything British since I was so young even though I was born in Cuba, I feel something rather deep for the UK and America my adopted home. God bless them all.

[@TheCornishCockney]

you miss the whole point of what it is to be British,we embrace ALL cultures,all races and creeds,and I for one,am extremely proud of that trait in the only truly free country in the world.

[@JoshuaH688]

As an American, I still regard The United Kingdom as my mother country... because there would be no United States if there had not been first a British Empire.

[@sylviabrookes7841]

There words lovely tune.

[@TheHenes]

Wie schön , emotional und würdevoll wie es nur eben in England gesungen wird .

too AWESOME

[@mel0292]

i would love to go to the proms!! fantastic stuff i never even contemplated this genre of music until watching the bc proms :-)

[@Engyify73]

Bloody proud to be British when I hear this. It puts me in proud Brit mode. Others, keep racism to yourself. No need for it.

[@abhiramakella7146]

7:09 They are doing the last part one more time, and they are going to do it for real this time.

[@ExtremeKnexRides]

It was nice to see lots of nationalities at the 2011 last night

[@johnuhr-henry9508]

A great rendition of this great British Anthem and hymn. Bless the Commonwealth and the British Empire. May they become great as they once were. Keep their jobs in Britain instead of giving them all off to Asian nations. like Australia now...You have to spot the workers.

[@billym1974]

[@abhiramakella7146]

Also, Queen Elizabeth II passed away exactly three months ago as of this writing (9/8/2022).

[@andrewtaw4794]

That crowd is on fire! I’ve seen stadium rock concerts with less passion! Incredible.

[@grumpybugger110]

There's really nothing better than a good-old, tub-thumping, sabre-ratting, bit of jingoistic British Pride. We only really do it once a year, there rest of the time is devoted to moaning about the weather. God save the Queen.

[@kenbooker5739]

There's a few thousand people in Hyde park .singing along .

[@lelaviation9869]

this video was made 1 day before my birthday september 13

land of hope and bloody glory....great..............

[@abhiramakella7146]

5:02 It is the same lyrics as before, but now it is in D Major (2 ♯s) instead of G Major (1 ♯).

[@calichocofudge]

great!!! love the daffodils! :)

[@donaldthomson7682]

Make this our NATIONAL ANTHEM ! !

[@TrainsByUzair]

@Wisdomfanatic2011 My family have been here for over 30 years :).

[@cutanea2]

The music is excellent though shiramvenu. Very appropriate to finish this wonderful week-end celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

[@MrDaiseymay]

It's always surprising -but nice, to see so many other national flags waving during this so-British Anthem--even German one's.BUT ! THE EU RAG IS VERBOTEN !!

[@anrobvassallo]

@ngaitom09 great great country..... the most democratic in the world. i love the uk!

[@Crintingnut]

Pleased to see an audience who knows the correct time to sing!

[@camelotbabe93]

I was in the crowd that night next to my older sister. I did start singing but she nudged me and told me that the first time is hummed then once the conductor faced outwards thats when we sing properly. I didn’t know, as it was my first time attending Last Night Of The Proms.

[@ukrevolutionaryarmy5044]

We Brits and commonwealth should unite together, we should leave the American government to their tyranny and be stronger as one nation of brothers and sisters of the anglo-saxon and celtic bloodlines

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

Well, excuse me, as an American educated in England, but who do you think the majority of Americans are? We should be holding together more than ever, in these unsettled times, against those who use our resources and refuse to assimilate into our culture. Some rules have to change to preserve us all.

[@Aaronsmith24]

Brilliant :P

[@captainpne]

This time in a week my wife and myself will be flying off to England for proms in the park, we can't wait. By the way is it me or does the woman at (2mins & 36 seconds) open her mouth and make a strange squeaking noise.

[@lelaviation9869]

captainpne yea I noticed it too

[@rskrzyz]

You forgot to mention British collusion in ' extraordinary rendition', the illegal war on Iraq, the irrational and ruinous war in Afghanistan, and the most expensive railway system in the world...other than that, spot on. Believe me, you're not entirely alone...Keep up the good work!

[@wowu5]

Only the New Territories (mostly rural area) part was borrowed. Hong Kong Island and Kowloon (economic core area) were permanently ceded to Britain.

[@Niiikh23]

It is my life goal to rise to head of the RFU so I can make this England's anthem at rugby matches. So much more powerful than the bore-off that is God Save the Queen.

[@Canadianeh100]

God Bless the U.K. - including Scotland. Hang together or hang apart.

[@SCARRIOR]

Could not agree more with you, we will see soon enough if we are together in the following months.

[@andrewau1993]

yes

[@seannnn6]

@Artegalatus This is 100% for sure the Last Night 2011, you can tell because a. you have Edward Gardner composing and b. at 6:45, him telling the crowd they're not being loud enough haha.

[@painxtreme]

Correction: Pomp and Circumstance* (not plural). I don't care who my statement angers, what was done to Elgar's composition is akin to making another Brit Tradition by taking Mozart's "Symphony # 25 in G minor", and turning in to a Public House drinking anthem.

[@sundimented]

fight to become part of the great commonwealth again!

[@sarmatianobleman2486]

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. When is PROMS-2016, which month?

[@grooverheliboy]

100% pure Pomp Pangeantry Patroitism and Majesty The Envy of the World !

[@oldbullus]

I revere the British people for what they have given the world. I only hope they decide to reclaim their own heritage and their own country from those who have no intent of preserving them.

[@tylerwozear]

erm..... 2:35 ....is that women making that sound!!!!????? Btw, love this piece!

[@cogidubnus1953]

Don't worry yourself Mark...they're just the tokens of some of the unruly souls we've subdued down the years!

[@abhiramakella7146]

That's the stomping sound.

[@tomtomgo22]

I think its sweet how us white folk cant even bend our knees in unison to a tune. I wonder what its like to have rhythm...

[@Artegalatus]

Is this the Last Night of the Proms 2011 ? Because I've seen a year ago a video of Proms 2010 and it seems that a bunch of people are in both videos, dressed the same way...So I'm just asking...

[@ChristmasTrax]

This or Jerusalem should be the national anthem for England. It's about a country not just a woman!

[@ketsan]

Very American of you to think that monarchy is about an individual.

[@ChristmasTrax]

ketsan You appear to be confused. I said the National Anthem is about one woman and not a country. I never said the monarchy was about one woman. I don't understand how saying what I said is very American? Please, do explain.

[@ketsan]

ChristmasTrax Well it's quite simple. The National Anthem is not about one woman, it's about one office of state. It's about having a reason to look up, even if the reason is slightly dubious and largely theatrical, and realising that being able to look up, even in total scorn of the institution at least means that we're not like people from grubby little republics who all want to be equal and end up dragging each other down into the mud. A country is an entirely too abstract focus for a national anthem, and in fact a bit narcissistic, collectively patting ourselves on the back for being British like some isn't the way to go.

[@ChristmasTrax]

Looking at your statement about republics being grubby likely means that your views are right-wing and my views are centre left so we're unlikely to agree with each other. I have to say I disagree with a lot of your views and rather than ending up in an endless debate, I feel it's better if I try to explain what I was initially saying. I feel that the current national anthem is about one office of state as you put it. A anthem about a royal family/office of state is not relevant in a event such as rugby/football match and is more at home in an event to represent the royal family e.g. the diamond jubilee. Some of the commonwealth nations have the right attitude in having a national anthem which represents their country and then a royal anthem (god save the queen) to represent their head of state.

[@SCARRIOR]
