Where has my Britain gone; I look around and don't see it anymore, until I watch last night of the proms. Never lucky enough to be there.

[@pegg3754]

WOW and wow. New to me. I am loving this. Cello takes me away. A new love for me.

[@montyzumazoom1337]

Always fantastic, so British - love it, watch it every year!

[@XxxxXzedXxxxX]

That cello breaks my heart!

[@illuminatus3125]

1768, British explorer Captain Cook orders his crew to "dance the hornpipe to keep in good health." A trend followed. 2012, British people will still dance the hornpipe if you give 'em an opportunity. This pleases me.

I wish Mairead Nesbitt the Celtic Woman companion can play the Fantasia of British sea songs while she plays the violin in different medleys! She could come to the royal Albert hall in London to participate BBC PROMS for one day.

[@kevod7772000]

Nice to see Gerry Adams enjoying the proms at 5.16

[@Paladin1441]

Everyone's having a grand time!

[@davidrobinson8337]

ONE MORE TIME!!

[@Pwj579]

Love the euphonium solo!

[@BobFarnell]

That's the best part of any orchestra!

[@adamwithey8194]

00:04:28 Best video ever

[@NinjaMoose99]

Yay, they have a Euphonium in the orchestra :D

[@spiggyholz8824]

That's part of the tradition of Last Night - it's expected.

[@savagesnayle301]

great violin. great variation on a theme.

[@philipwright7418]

I do like the proms

[@MrFUHGEDDABOUDIT]

Magnificent. Thanks for sharing

[@Bimboysize15]

The noise poppers are a tradition for the last night!

[@Damnblastify]

Sooo many beautiful flags :-)

[@bluehulk8]

4:30

[@JJBRMusic]

Who is the Euphonium player? I never seen her before but my god her tone is beautiful. :) great show! :)

[@deadcoww]

The cello was beautiful, but can someone explain why so many people were crying? Just trying to figure out of it was the pure beauty or if it had any historical significance.

[@TheGameFilmGuruMan]

It's tradition.

[@cliveholland7846]

Its the sad sad song of Tom Bowling. Poor Tom Bowling. Lost at sea.

[@montyzumazoom1337]

‘Cos it’s sad!

[@jmm1233]

first chair violinist was sneaky on drunken sailor , hehe

[@farodealer]

not Drunken sailor but the Sailors Hornpipe

[@savagesnayle301]

hey blonde haired blue eyed musicians are generally sexy no matter their gender. Even if you can spell euphonium. lols and smiles all round.

[@Paranomasia12]

I believe its Jayne Murrill

[@chriscilla2]

Is this Julia Graham playing the Tom Bowling cello solo?

[@universalsailor]

A Canadian's flag right there in the conductor's podium next to the Czech flag!

[@andresgamer6741]

Sailor´s Hornpipe: Popeye´s Anthem

[@weeddegree]

[@123fishpond]

There is one at 2.12

[@peterjones7562]

You have to be in on the joke, arch!

[@geofflonsdale9813]

Type

[@philipwright7418]

Or the poms and the Royal Family

[@afrofinka]

3:06 melancholic people XD

[@CrazyRupes]

its just not the same without the promenaders lol

[@margueritejohnson6407]

CrazyRupes The promenades are standing as usual.

[@JoshFreilich]

If I were conductor, I would conduct it at a tempo much faster than his.

[@jayseaem]

But your not, lol

[@davidtinker2143]

Thank God you weren't. This selection is played at a pace which the composer intended.

[@godfatheraeg]

This is beautiful...don't mind the little knick knack or popping sounds, I understand its tradition, but dear god...the completely out of key, very disruptive "honking toys" completely ruin the tone of the music. No sir, no, and no again

[@thomasholland2384]

Yeah they should tell them to stop that!

[@nickhoffman9544]

Oh, sir; you have to understand. on this last night, the audience are the performers...

[@Damnblastify]

Nah, it's bollocks.... That said, Susan Monks is a babe!

[@robburns8811]

God how I hate those pillocks in stalls doing that silly childish weeping thing while that beautiful Tom Bowling is being played so wonderfully. Please don't tell me it's tradition, I don't care.

[@malcolmcog]

Spoilt somewhat by the incessant party poppers, shame on you last night promenaders.

[@jayseaem]

party poppers turning you into a party pooper,. miserable git

[@em3000]

@@jayseaem maybe a comment on their lack of musicality. So out of time it's astonishing

[@em3000]

Sorry "off" not out of lol
