Last night of the Proms

[The Esk]

Anyone else enjoy this?

In the early 70's I remember watching this every year with my Grandfather, he was a boiler-maker at Camell Lairds, yet loved the last night - he used to make everyone stand up for Land of Hope & Glory (Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance, March no. 1) and say this should be the National Anthem!

That f*cking dirge from Carousel?

 

[The Esk]

Evening ends on the traditional high note - I always think of my Grandfather on this night, he was as I have mentioned previously a very great Evertonian, we reckon he attended more than 700 matches at Goodison plus many more in the North West and trips to Wembley in '33, '66 and '68.....

I absolutely love the end, my Grandad was of a similar vein to yours Mr Esk, proud to be English when it didn't mean you were in the EDL. Fantastic songs. He always thought (and I do too) that Jerusalem should be our national anthem, it was sung at his funeral, always reminds me of him.


Surprised davek and Chico haven't murdered this thread by now

Watching it now. That tit in the Villa shirt can play a mean violin

Oh and #jingoism

 

[Elong]

Sadly I won't get the replay for another 6 months over here, probably at some obscure time in the day.

 

[bluejock]

That. F*cking. Dirge.

 

[bluejock]

We hate Nottingham Forest
We hate Liverpool too (they're sh*t)
We hate Manchester United
But Everton we love you
