Last night of the Proms - will you watch?

Watched the tennis , proms on record . Will enjoy the proms this afternoon with a meal on my lap and a glass of wine .

I loved the second half, the first half not so much for the first time ever.

Me too * Hellogirl*.

I also agree with MrsPickle about the audience being close together and hardly any masks. Seems very unwise.

I don't watch the last night every year but I did last night. Agree with others the accordionist was a rather striking, good looking lady and while I did enjoy most of the programme I thought in the past they have been a bit better, perhaps that was to be expected really. I intend to watch some of the concerts I have missed this year as they are all on player apparently.

Didn't really enjoy last part this year. Seemed a bit stilted and also very English - more so than before Covid but maybe because people not travelling. Really didn't like the slow paced and spaced out version of national anthem. Made it seem funeral like and the choir looked silly spaced out like that.

People often don’t realise that it’s only the last bit of the Last Night that is a singalong party. Before that it’s a normal serious concert. I’m watching it. Emma hasn’t started yet. When she does I’ll probably flick back and forth between the two..

If you meant this for me, thanks for your thoughtfulness but I’m well aware of the format, having attended many Proms in the past.

No, it wasn’t aimed at you, or at anyone in particular. Just an observation.

I’ve been to Proms, too, and I’ve been in a few as well.
