Watching, but feel a bit sad, the (necessary) gaps between members of the orchestra, plus lack of audience make for a very different Proms.

Some people think that You'll Never Walk Alone is a football anthem but to me it will always be a beautiful song from a wonderful show.

It is an anthem for our time.

I loved the traditional sea songs, Rule Brittania and Land of Hope and Glory. Now traditional Jerusalem. Brilliant.

Thank goodness for the original Jerusalem!
What was that thing all about?

I actually enjoyed the new version of Jerusalem.
Here's the traditional song, all together now...

I think the presenter's dress is absolutely beautiful.
Katie Derham - We should see more of her.

I like the traditional music from Scotland, Wales and N Ireland.

I hope too, that Dalia Stasevska will have another chance to conduct at Last Night of the Proms under more normal circumstances.

Her big moment and she is doing a wonderful job!

I agree! Had to turn the volume down. I think the presenter's dress is absolutely beautiful.

Jerusalem is one of my all time favourites. Not this arrangement though. Oh good, they plan to sing the trad version later

I'm finding it very poignant and atmospheric.
