Last Night of the Proms

[bbc1234]

Anyone watching??
Love this show but very strange without the prommers!

She's fab. And so nice when she spoke.

Ok, that's given me goosebumps. I'm a sucker for close harmony like that.

Oh dear, tears here

I could have cried when they did the sea song fantasia, the orchestra going faster and faster all by themselves. No audience bobbing and clapping.

And me @PolkadotsAndMoonbeams

Well, I don't know the BBC pulled it off, but they did. 👏

Oh dear, it’s making me cry 🙁 but I do love it...even more this horrible year.

No Danny Boy, though? Or did I miss it?

No I am finding it sad and lacking without the audience. I like them bobbing and singing. No atmosphere really tonight

Thank you @Bloodybridget . She always looks so elegant.
I thought it was a fantastic evening with brilliant performances. I really enjoyed it.

I sang in the Albert Hall once. Amazing experience. Just having a stealth boast...sorry!

Chelsea Pensioners made me cry!

ah well, perhaps next year, but well done BBC.

Golda was stunning. I'm so pleased I watched tonight.

Chelsea Pensioners made me cry!

Yes, a few watery eyes in our house too.

Subdued version of the National Anthem was a bit strange.

It was lovely in a strange way. So nice to see live music again and the show beautifully put together with the external footage, lighting, camerawork. Poignant though.

I loved it

They usually do outside broadcasts from around the UK.
Would have been nice if a few socially distanced people could have seen the live performances. I have seen cinema type performances where you and your car are allocated a space and you can sit inside or outside your car providing you stay in your space.

I really enjoyed this, and like others, much preferred it without the flag waving audience

It made me cry. Really showed what this pandemic is costing us. How much we need human interaction, community, and how powerful music is that such a small number of people could fill a huge space with such beauty.

I miss the Proms. Pre-dc I used to go several times every summer. Up in the gallery, floating on beautiful sound.

(Though I agree about the air horns. Ban them!)
