  • I watched this in my English class, and although we're not British, you could feel the shivers everyone had :)

    Love Britain <3

  • the Jolly Roger (2:00) and the Mercedes-Benz flag (3:05) are the TOP!!!!

    

  • Why do people wave the dutch and norwegian flags here?

  • @ModellMeister

    cause they are dutch or norwegian?...........

  • @samosammo123 but this is a british patriotic party!

  • @ModellMeister

    Yes, they are celebrating the fact that Britain is great by waving their own country flags to show that their country support Britain and it's allies.

    Sam

    Birmingham (Brumingham) ,England , UK

  • @ModellMeister We WELCOME ALL NATIONS AND THIER FLAGS.. 

  • @grooverheliboy you mean, you conquer all nations and their flags

  • @ModellMeister Such as?

  • @beechey145 such as? hmm lets see all the places Great Britain either a)subjugated b)oppressed c)left in ruins and conflict or d) all of the above......India, "Palestine"(b4 israel), China, Argentina, the Boers (concentration camps), most of Africa...some of S. America...etc etc.

  • BRITISH AND PROUD FROM NORTHERN IRELAND

  • I really envy British people, how they ae proud of their nation and not ashamed.

  • Britannia may not rule the waves anymore....but our navy is still SECOND best :P

    and america, the so-called best navy in the world? quantity over quality mate :P

  • I am so proud to be 100% English as far as my bloodline has been recorded. But unfortunately Britain doesn't rule the waves anymore, not since 1943. I would also like to add, we have the best patriotic songs. America etc have poor anthems.

  • Cant wait for 2012 BBC Proms!

  • Is it me or there was a small reference to the Ride of the Walkyries ?

  • Hey, I am an American who is interested in moving to the UK when I get a little older, (basically because I hate the current culture America has and I am sick of the attitude the people have) and I was wondering, your main unit of currency is the Pound, what is your smaller value? (Like Cents in the US) Thanks. :)

  • @MrClone501st 100 Pence = 1 Pound (100p = £1)

  • Comment removed

  • @spikeymouse Didn't it used to be a Shilling? Like 1/11th or something?

  • Comment removed

  • @MrClone501st We used to use the shilling, but that was replaced a long time ago.

  • @MrClone501st You will be very very welcome here my freind !!

  • Great Britain I LOVE YOU from Brazil.

  • Comment removed

  • I hope in 2012 the Trollface sings rule britannia

  • Greetings from Canada, I am glad to hear Britain is getting out of the Euro zone! Long live the Queen and the Commonwealth! We are all excited to watch the London olympics this year, and Britain has lots to be proud of this year! Cheers!

  • @apple2018 We've never been in the Eurozone. Or do you mean not getting anywhere near it, ever? Because we're not. :P

  • @beechey145 : Sorry about that you are correct, I was half a sleep I was thinking of the European Union.

  • @apple2018 In that case, I agree with you 100%

    The EU is damaging, sure, the trade is great, but every other aspect is damaging to the UK and her citizens as a whole, especially the free immigration.

  • @apple2018 Greetings from Britain. Canda is awesome. You get all the cool American things and the cool British things. Im sort of jealous. 

  • @BFBCFTW: Don't be jealous, as our current far right wing gov't is destroying everything that was good about Canada, our Prime Minister hates Canada; and even the Americans call him a Pro American. Canadians do not want much to do with the Americans as they treat us as another state. People in Canada would rather work more with the U.K. The Americans are a have been, they exploited everyone and now there is no one left to exploit.

  • Veni...

    

  • trochę głupio ... ale ... alee ... alleee nudy

  • witam, tu tomekloko - przedstawiciel samosi - polskiej organizacji, która ma za zadanie przejąć panowanie nad internetem, przejmujemy te kocie miauczenie

  • Ładna narodowa piosenka .... ale tradycyjnym "dobry wieczór" przejmujemy utwór.

  • Brilliant. Never ceases to rouse sentiments of national pride, joy and hope in Britain's true sons and daughters.

  • I loved the 'L'-plate on the conductor's dais!

  • The american athem kinda just vanish next to this :D

    Amazed how many sing along!

    Lá tatanya, TONJA BIRITÁNIA ! ;)

  • I'm an American and seeing this makes me wish I were British!

  • @jkirchman79

    me too :)

  • @jkirchman79 No you are American, !! First and Foremost !! But you understand Shit from Sand, Semper Fi

  • I saw this live on TV and had a good laigh and giggle. Amazingly performed. I am not British but I do live in Britain and most people wouldn't even guess I wasn't one of the Brits. This song is just awesome and I think, and I believe, that every nation has a right to be proud of its roots.

  • Amazing...Listened to this as soon as britain said no to Germanic rule in the EU

  • orgasm.

  • this song gives me goosebumps

  • Im defintely going to go to the proms one day.

  • i love you, british people. x

  • @HometownEntTV ONE NATION ONE PEOPLE,

  • British and proud :)

  • No one fuck's with the British !!!! God SAVE THE QUEEN

  • time goes by.

    britannia rules the waves, no more.

    doesnt matter, i like the british.

  • @norwennorwen *ahem* we have the strongest navy with the best anti-nuclear defences and for a country our size the most nuclear subs and warships despite the cuts *runs*

  • @TekranoXx And the best army for our size as well lest we forget...historically the best in the world maybe, up until the rise of the German and American scurge lol Having said that, I think we genuinely do have the best now for sure. Our SAS train the US Navy Seals. Oh yes.

  • I admire the British! Not a single EU flag in sight! That´s a nation you don´t mess with!

  • @Tiazzen74 The more we stay out of the EU, the better

  • Jesus Christ, whose idea was it to put that hat on her head? kept on falling off.

  • Why is this song not our national anthom, God save the queen SUCKS compared to this!

  • Comment removed

  • AMAZING, spine tingling!

  • Tu le has dao Mr Hmontero ;)

    

  • Tu le has dado Mr Hmontero ;)

  • Long live the British Empire! Greetings from Germany!

  • @bahjemenfous indeed

  • ALL ENEMIES OF BRITAIN AND HER ALLIES..BE AFRAID BE VERY VERY AFRAID..

  • God safe Spanish Kingdom

  • @1morsa lol "safe"

  • @1morsa ...gibraltar....ha....

  • Do the british know who was Blas de Lezo? he kicked your ass in Cartagena de indias. Poor admiral Vernon!

  • We are so fortunate to have what we have and people should be more grateful for it. I'm British, I believe my country is the greatest in the world and I am proud to call it home. All we hear about are the negatives and people complain about what awful lives they've got but we've never had it better.

    We should have a popular demonstration, showing the rest of this country and the world that there are British people who love and are proud of this country!

  • @Brezo18 Well said, i agree!

  • @MecadoPL

    Just did..........

  • @samosammo123 you wish.....

  • @MecadoPL

    .......................

  • @samosammo123 lol

  • Sara Connoly 2009 war wesentlich besser!!

  • GREAT!

    

  • This song just keeps getting getter year after year!

  • SHE SOUNDS LIKE A POSH TWAT

  • @00180mille

    you too, piss off

  • Its crap

  • @MecadoPL

    piss of commie scum!

  • @jamesedwardnash

    I disagree with you, i am german and i am proud of my heritage but i love england and all great britain.

  • @311mitglied Thumbs up to you. Germany is the greatest thinking nation since the ancient Greeks and German people are among the most polite, intelligent people on the earth. In this country, one day, we will learn the difference between patriotism and jingoism. The people of England are beautiful and hospitable really. It's just that when you are kind and people take advantage of your kindness, it makes your blood boil ....

  • This is what I like about the British: They can be both truely proud of themselves, and heartily laugh about themselves in the very same moment! We Germans still cannot do this...

  • 2 things:

    - I love Britain for their great way of beeing national; I miss this so much in Germany !!!

    - This kind of music is great ! Normally I like Queen or Status Quo - strange enough for my young age.

  • Quite simply amazing! Greetings from a Dane! :-)

  • God Save the Queen!  Long may she reign!

  • Rule Britannia! Long Live the Empire!

  • That was AWESOME!! Absolutely an amazing song! Greetings from an American of British decent!

  • And at the same time, you're reducing the size of your navy, which ios very very sad.

  • This is wonderful, but she looks like Wily Coyote (American cartoon character, Roadrunner, Beep Beep!) in that getup!

    No matter, thank you, beautiful music!

  • God save the Queen! Can't wait til next year's show. The Diamond Jubilee should be one big happy celebration.

  • @MrZadokthePriest Thats for sure except for coronations and royal weddings the diamond jubilee will be one of few times we get to see our country transform into a prideful nation (In public).

    Nobody in the world can hold celebrations like The British and its Royal Family the Royal wedding is a once in a life event (well you know what I mean) and everybody around the world loved how perfect it was.

    Thats a good reason to be proud.

  • By jingo, the Brits sure know how to sing their country's praises.

    Greetings from your loyal brothers & sisters across the pond in Canada.

  • RULE BRITANNIA!

    GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD!

  • Comment removed

  • Should be ENGLISH flags only !!!

  • @jazzyjazzyjazzy

    how silly

    you don't like to see how our little annual music fest inspires countries across the globe?

  • @jazzyjazzyjazzy u mean british flags

  • @jazzyjazzyjazzy yeh, because there sure arent no britons living overseas (5 million) or countries outside of Britain with british heritage ( canada, australia, new zealand, south africa, fiji, gibraltar falklands, commonwealth) or countries inside Britain ( wales, scotland, Northern Irealnd) that arent proper england.. SERIOUSLY!!?!?!?

  • This song makes me so PROUD to be British! :)

  • Long live Britannia!

  • Going to the Last Night of the Proms is definately on my bucket list.

  • While I do love the proms and the music is fantasic... this song is making a pretty bold claim these days. The Royal navy is nowhere near as "royal" as it was just 10 years ago.

  • Is this a Little Britain sketch that I missed?

  • RULE BRITANNIA!!!

    LONG LIVE OUR KINGDOM!!!

  • you brits should be proud of yourselves, seriously.

  • I bet the Queen has that song on her iPod.

  • @VorstadtJugend She'd better have every rendition on the iTunes store, because I have 3...

  • Thank to all our british friends for this event :-)

  • great song

  • Now really, this isn't supposed to be an opportunity for people to put down anyone. It's supposed to be enjoying British culture.

  • what happened to the sea shanties

  • @soshanna1 I agree with this question. The proms, in many ways as magnificent as ever, is being gradually dumbed down for commercial reasons in exactly the same utterly predictable and boring way as everything else. Soon there will be very little difference between the proms and Glastonbury. You can love both popular and classical music and still see the merit in keeping the two (wherever the boundary is supposed to lie) separate. So where are the sea shanties ? Get them back on !

  • @zarakhast How is it being like glastonbury?

    The proms is the worlds largest classical music event and its not going to have anything but classical music.

  • @ViDeOMaStErPaUl But in recent years it HAS introduced non-classical music into its schedule (e.g. the music of The Beatles, the James Bond music bond (both of which I approve) etc). As I say, I love both popular and classical music, but if the Proms is going to keep allowing more and more popular music to take up its entire schedule then the amount of purely classical music is going to have to be reduced. Keep this process up and, in the end, it will be no longer be the Proms as we knew it.

  • @zarakhast I agree with it though after all that sort of thing gets younger people into listening to the music and to be fair Jame bond music is classy no matter how you slice it.

    Nothing wrong with adding a few songs to spice up the proms after all most of the music is from 1920's and below so some more recent music is a welcome change to everybody.

    As long as they don't start playing michael jackson or Greenday then I don't care.

  • Guard meets hermes @ last night of the proms ;P

  • This makes me feel proud to be British! Rule Britannia!! God Save the Queen

  • Love It :-)

  • @jamesedwardnash hey mate that's what we are a multicultural country we were one of the first tbh cause Queen Victoria was in love with india so she named it part of the british empire they even fought for us during the first world war so dont ever say that immigrants are ruining our country! :)

  • cool i saw some flemish flags (black lions on yellow surface)

  • I love this video...I'm still waiting for a singer to dress as the actual Britannia properly haha...maybe without the lion though...this song fills me up with pride so much

  • @jamesedwardnash Well said.

  • Are you guys really arguing over the internet? What are you gonna do, caps-lock the hell out of each other?

    Just watch the video or GTFO.

  • feel it in your bones,shed a tear.nothing can change the way you feel,wonderful.

  • @Cognoscentiable Pure semantics ... even your classical music comment is hilarious. Your concept of classical music is Gilbert and Sullivan. Grasp on culture? I suspect you don't even know the Pakistani holidays. BTW... just having fun with you.... don't take it all so serious.

  • @alienhuman having fun or not, u make yourself look stupid and lower the quality of your own argurment ( i happen to agree with you) but you have to appriciate there is still english people in england who are proud to be english and are not racists. Regarding your classical music comment... well that makes you appear completely uneducated.

  • guys - is it soooo hard, to stop talking bullsh.... and just start enjoing the video ?

  • This is so cute.... a broken down former world sea power being statirized by it's own citizenry. How utterly cute.

  • @alienhuman statir statiz what the fuck you on about,thanks for searching for this vid,your interest is a deep longing to be proud of your country.but your not.

  • @alienhuman I would say cheer up and sing along...but the line "will never be slaves" doesnt really apply to you Americans does considering us Brits forced you to hand over most of the money you earned to the British people. LOL. Run along fatty, I think McDonalds is closing soon.

  • @alienhuman

    Statirized?

    it is own citizenry?

    You. Make. NO . Sense.

    Go away and come back when you've 'graduated' from high school.

    Cheers.

  • @alienhuman Wow I just hate "ENVIOUS" Americans. Watch out the GREEN EYED MONSTER IS ABOUT !!

  • @alienhuman And yet we are the 2nd largest sea power behind America, we maybe an island off the coast of Europe but we are still a powerful country. You would not have anything you have today if it wasn't for Britain.

  • please upload in HD!

  • listening to this just makes you realise how much our country's been screwed over since we last ruled the sea! come on Britain be proud that we are a multicultural society that started the industrial revolution! then maybe one day we will have an empire once again! Rule Britannia and god bless Queen Elizabeth

  • @kenco124 Maybe not an Empire, but lets hold to what we have left eh? :)

  • there's a real wagner fan at 2:26

  • RULE BRITANNIAAAAAAA !!!

  • Fantastisch !!! Grüße aus Germany !!!

  • @froggman94 my god what a dreadfully ignorant, uneducated and darn right stupid opinion you've voiced there. And the spelling you use is just another example of the failure of British public education, where I can presume you are 16-17, and in a couple of years will be considered an "adult" and given a right to vote, it beggars belief.

  • I always watched this show since 2007 from Youtube. Hopefully this event in coming years could be transmitted and broadcast in Southeast Asia

    greetings from Indonesia :)

    P.S. : where's God Save The Queen and Jerusalem in BBC Proms 2011?

  • So nice to see British, American, German, Norwegian, Dutch, Jamaican etc flags all waving so proudly...

  • all the ungratful people who live here in britain should be thankful for wot they have the foregner complain abwt us being cruel to them well if we r so bad they should go home but there to afraid to go there, thn there british people who think we r all lazy rioter well if u dont like it there plenty of other places to live, its not abwt how powerful a nation is tht u should be proud of it whn there beaten down u should be proud to say ur BRITISH!

  • God bless Britannia and her majesty the queen!

  • was watching this on tv...was UNBELIAVABLE!!!!! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

  • the bbc hasnt uploaded god save the queen WHY???

  • Guess I was the only one who thought she looked ridiculous....just a glorified comedy turn.... If you can't destroy nationalism then the next best thing is to ridicule it.........well yes, I'm a misereable sod.

  • @DodgertheBear1 You said it, lighten up its all good fun. One major thing about us Brits is that we can laugh at ourselves and still stay proud. Not many nations, if any can say the same.

  • @andygin Given your choices.... I totally understand. I think it explains your country's need to drink to excess.

  • This should be the national anthem, not boring old God Save The Queen.

  • Funny how its all the ex-pats+non brits boasting how proud they are lol.Be glad you dont live in the UK,you wouldnt be so proud.Unless you like looting/rioting/anarchy.Have you seen 'Great' Britain recently.what a joke these proms are lol.

  • @ConcernedCitizenUK your life is a joke, thats how much of a fail you are

  • @ConcernedCitizenUK Cheer up you miserable sod! :P

  • @ConcernedCitizenUK Have you commented on EVERY Proms song?

    Maybe if people like you stopped spending all your time moaning, and did something for your country, we wouldn't be in this supposed mess you're fussing about.

    btw, the word "great" in GB is a geographical term, the antiquated word for "big" - Great Britain is the largest country in the British Isles.

    watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10

  • May God Bless the United Kingdom and her glorious Commonwealth, God Save the Queen!

  • That Ride of the Valkyries reference was absolutely fantastic. Had me roaring with laughter.

  • well that's it then, summer's over. : (

  • 2:00 haha the pirate flag

  • why dislike this? We're not even British (Dutch) and even we watch the Proms every year and sing along with Rule Britannia.

  • @mebird68

    Yes please do sing along! We have Piet Hein to sing along too.

    Search for; Peter van Anrooy - Piet Hein Rhapsodie (1901)

  • @mebird68 4 are French, & 4 brits have an issue with they monarchy being german
