Rule Britannia
Discussion
I'm assuming that it was lord March's sister singing again this year, in particular Happy Birthday and Rule Brittania. We, and most of the rest of Madgewick corner others found it very amusing that the gun salute happened almost immediately at the end of Rule Britannia.....as if the singer had been executed.....

Why oh why oh why does he let her sing every year I think my ears bled after todays warblings
You would hope its some family tradition - perhaps Lord March's grandfathers wife/sister sung at the original meetings ? Or its just to keep he quiet the rest of the year, because a tuneful singer she ain't........
As singers go she was probably fine in studio conditions but given the heady mix of Goodwood dust (did you see some of the outside exhibit cars on Sunday evening - covered in filth) , petrol and oil fumes mixed with aviation fuel all had a negative effect , I'm sure Lord March isn't tone deaf and also gave her the benefit of the doubt.

I don't think it's his sister - it was a black girl 'singing'.
It is!I think his father re-married. I met her a few months ago in Hove. She's very nice but can't sing!
She had seen my Colin McRae sticker on my car and explained she was a friend of his.
She has the most utterly appaling singing voice I've ever heard, and usually finishes her songs at least two bars before the band.
People were just pissing themselves laughing where I was standing, it was an embarrasment, as it is every year.
Somebody put us out of her misery, please...
She's had a tough life though, bless:

That was the first time i took my radio out of my ear all weekend - i couldn't stand it!, why does she do it every year, £35 to hear an what sounded like a crow in a car compactor singing. What an awfull sound. Why oh why didn't they exucute her there and then - would of been better entertainment me thinks.

Sorry, she's obviously working her way through the entire Last Night of the Proms catalogue, having murdered 'Jerusalem' last year. Warning if Goodwood start doing open air music events!!!
Hope she can act better than she can sing.
Just because we're proles doesn't mean the aristocracy can keep abusing us like this on an annual basis - likely to start a revolution if Charly M isn't careful.

I thought we'd got away with this year it after a shattering but mercifully short 'Happy Birthday'.
I still remember the groans last year when she embarked on the 2nd verse of Jerusalem. Oh well, it is but a small price to pay for one of the best old car events anywhere in the world!

Unfortunately that plus the rambling speeches (what idiot gave Mandleson yet more air time?) meant that subsequent races were about 30 mins late and the Vulcan display occurred whilst the RAC TT was still running. And as others have said... it's all bit self indulgent because unless you're sat in the start finish line you can't see what's happening and it's all a bit tedious.
