The crazy, the British. But how great! With wonderful music, enthusiastic people full of love for their country and an incomparable atmosphere. we poor Germans can no longer allow ourselves such honest patriotism, even if the post-war generation is not responsible for these terrible crimes of the Nazis. meanwhile we have been stripped of our identities and are being fooled by a corrupt government with no dignity or pride.

Thank you Wolfgang. This clip is from a 1989 edition of Last Night of the Proms. More recent editions show an increasing use of flags of other nations and even the EU flag. For those who can receive the BBC, the next Last Night of the Proms will the first or second Saturday in Sept.
Don't despair - you have Beethoven's 9th symphony. Beethoven, Mozart, Goethe, Schiller and others gave you a culture to be proud of - even politicians can't destroy that.
I'm italian and my feelings are similar to yours for similar reasons... I always dreamed of the United States of Europa.. Sadly it seems that it will be only a dream... Good music to everyone!
I was nineteen at the time of this footage and always liked to watch the Last Night of the Proms. The men's white jackets show sartorial elegance, something that I don't notice much of these days. Heart on sleeve music always go down well with me, especially the patriotic variety! I have a very good musical memory and possess perfect pitch.
I was a young man of 32 and this was when I got into my own history and I knew of my Grandfather's Heroics and mum n dad being evacuated out of London in the Blitz! But Guys n Girls it makes me proud! Born within these islands you have already won the lottery of life x
The only time, when it was easy to hear the singer over the whole audience during Rule Britannia. There are other versions from the Proms that are equally beautiful, but this is the most powerful, that I know
Bravo Madam, your voice is beautiful and very suitable for Rule Britannia ! Your dress is magnificent. Long life to this great United Kingdom and God bless the Queen !!!
Personally, how can anyone criticize national pride and patriotism when there is this type of love for ones country.....DOWN with globalism and critics of nationalism.....
I always thought Land of Hope and Glory should be our anthem. Nothing against the Queen. Love it and always cry as l have lived abroad for 40 yrs but have always been very patriotic.
When the time comes for the Queen to leave us, it would be a good time to replace our dreary God save the Queen with Land of Hope and Glory. Unfortunately , if that happened, the lyrics would no doubt be replaced with new words that are sickeningly politically correct!!
@@media3213 I have 2 national anthems. The Welsh, Land of my Fathers and God save the Queen which I see as more than just the English anthem We are British.

I was there that night. It was always great to be at a concert conducted by Sir John Pritchard, I saw him many times. Sadly he died less than three months after this, while he was in San Francisco, preparing to conduct Wagner's Ring Cycle.

Today 14.September 2024 Royal-Albert-Hall ! Lyrics to Jerusalem: "And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among these dark Satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold: Bring me my arrows of desire: Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire. I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land."
Her last year as PM, but the patriot circumstance thankfully goes back to beyond her disastrous term of office. Her 1979 Election speech "Where there is discord lets bring harmony", in fact what she really meant was "where there is harmony lets bring discord".
@@chrispearson3333 The great thing about Thatcher was that when someone voted Conservative, they knew exactly what they were going to get.

Actually you are bang on: the dress was designed to mimic the French tricolour because this recording was made at the Last Night celebration in 1989 - the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution - and the dress was a conscious tribute to mark the occasion. Only at the very end does it transform into the flag of the UK. Not many people remember that fact (or, give the current state of Anglo-French relations, choose to do so!).

It is such a pity that Hong Kong people are forced to sing the Communist national anthem.

It may be a dirge but I cannot see what you mean when you say "God save the Queen" is german. The first man to publish it, Henry Carey in 1744 (roughly the same times "Rule Britannia" was written), was English; there is a French claim without evidence that they wrote it in the 1680s and there is a counterclaim that it dates from the early 1600s amongst the works of the English composer, John Bull. Beethoven quoted it much, much later in his "Wellington's Victory" (to represent the British victory over the French), was commissioned to write a set of keyboard variations on the tune in the early 19th century and numerous European states later adopted this anthem including the German Empire, Switzerland and Liechtenstein but its origin is definitely not german, so far as anyone knows.
No one seems to remember why Sarah Walker was dressed as she was (or they're deliberately not mentioning it). This was 1989, the bicentenary of the French Revolution. Sarah was dressed in long, thick stripes of red, white and blue - a representation of the French tricolor! Only at the very end of "Rule, Britannia!" does her dress miraculously transform into the flag of the UK. Are there any French viewers out there who noticed?

Jerusalem
Today 14.September 2024 Royal-Albert-Hall !
Lyrics to Jerusalem:
"And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land."
