I’m a very proud Englishwoman and this never fails to make me cry.. especially now we have lost our Wonderful late Queen.. and no you’re not annoying.. 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧❤️

[scottmaxwell]

Very much an anthem for our friends in England but I still love listening to this. Proud to be British. Over and out from Edinburgh!

[chish]

Your respect is impressive Sir.
I get emotional over Jerusalem for too many reasons but at the opening bars of the National Anthem someone started peeling onions ...
Rest in Peace your Majesty
Your promise was well kept
Duty done Ma'am.

[matthewrandom]

I am so proud and so jealous at the same time of a nation which is so united, which stands together so firmly, and which is able and willing to show this to the whole world! Those are attributes us Germans will never be be aware of - everybody knows why. Forgive us, Britannia, and never stop being proud of your country and your new King Charles!

The National Anthem was so moving...😢RIP your Majesty..

Jerusalem Lyrics:

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

[grahamnancledra]

It's Benjamin Brittan's arrangement of the national anthem and to my mind the best ever. Never fails to bring tears to my eyes, especially now since we have now lost Her Majesty. Elizabeth did say to Ben Britten that she had heard the National Anthem so many tiomes but his arrangement was the best.

I'd he happy to hear your response to Handels Zadok the Priest and Parry's I was Glad, both used at the Coronation.

We as a nation dont show our patriotism very much/well, the proms gives us an excuse to let our hair down and really show it.🇬🇧
Ps R I P your majesty😪😪

[ryangerrard]

American here with British ancestry, I hope one day I can visit your green & pleasant land

[chrisshelley]

Hello again Mark, you posting these proms videos made me realise the time of year and I remember this time last year a number of American YouTubers were asking what we do on veterans day, they were horrified when they were told that we don't have "veterans day", to American ears this came across as "we don't acknowledge those who have died or been injured, served the country", as with many things the British tend to be more reserved in such matters, however, what came about was that Brits told about how on the 11/11 at 11am the whole country observes a minutes silence in respect of those who have served and those who have paid the ultimate price in the persute of peace and justice, the symbol of The Royal British Legion is the poppy, this came about because of the fields of France after the war were covered in red poppies, so the eleventh of November or the Sunday nearest to that date is Remembrance Day throughout the whole of the UK, we donate money for a poppy to wear in November and the money raised goes towards taking care of the needs of the armed forces, those who are now retired, injured, tending the graves of those who didn't come home, this is done around the world wherever the British have been but also taking care of those who have fought against us, I'm struggling to type this, I'm getting quite emotional, I just wanted you to know that we do care for our military service personnel and recognise them all, we just do it quietly except for the one day a year.

Jerusalem is my absolute favourite. Very stirring.

[ea]

The pride felt at hearing this. "In England's green and pleasant land"
Very proud to be British as we start a new year with a King instead of our Queen. Looking forward to King Charles' coronation.
A certain prince should watch a few of these and hopefully remember what and who he is. Whether he likes it or not, he sprang from this wonderful land.

[albin]

God rest Her Majesty's sweet soul. We used to sing Jerusalem at school. I loved it.

[StraightAA]

never gets old. As a proud brit with daughters born in Canada. This video never gets old. My bucket list includes getting my 'Canadian daughters' to a last night at the proms. thanks for posting.

[jeffthomas]

Great video Mark, last night of the proms is a fantastic night with lots of fun centred around some awesome music.

[kellymason]

My lare Mother was a huge fan of this festival of music and relished the last night. We sang this at her funeral, I cry everything I hear it

[UmvimvaniT]

I love the way that you react to our 'pomp and circumstance'. The Royal Albert Hall is quite unbelievable. Only been once but it has stuck in my memory and will be there forever.

[maureenjones]

I've been to the royal Albert Hall. My son took me to see a performance of Strauss for my 60th birthday. I'll always remember that night it was fantastic! x

[TheHaplorhine]

I have had the privilege of attending The Royal Albert Hall many times from classical concerts, The 1812 overture with cannon effect nearly made my poor Mum jump out of our box! I saw Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin and also a Vangelis concert which was so poorly rehearsed, it was hilarious, poor soul, he couldn't contain himself and just had to have a go on the great pipe organ - you don't so much hear that Organ, you feel it's vibration in your very bones!

[carolemiller]

I love listening to The National Anthems of various Countries, your own being one of the best. The Welsh National Anthem sounds just awesome.
