Indeed. And a septic - waving a bloody Stars & Stripes - is unacceptable too. The LNotP must surely be the last legal bit of jingoism we're allowed.

I did a bit of flag spotting- what is the black flag with the yellow cross? and is the Union flag in shades of pink a gay version?

Flag of St David, sometimes used in place of the Welsh flag but not very often.

why don't they do the traditional hornpipe anymore???

that was a highlight for me, with a bit of audience paticipation

still a good show though

I thought Renee Fleming was American? No shame in flying the flag of one the evening's star performers.

Last night of the proms. Full of pomp and ceremony. Lots of posh in-breds singing joyously together in the stalls before walking outside and promptly ignoring each other.
