  • To be fair though we took months and months of bombing, how many civilians did America lose? We could of just thrown in the towel, watching our families die. But nope, Britania stood strong!

  • together we stand divided we fall

  • Based on a poem by a Scottish poet (James Thomson) and performed here by a Welshman.

    Awesome!

  • Why are you all wittering about the war, which ended long before you were all born...? pointless

  • If you want something said ask the EU. If you want something done as the British. oh and if you want something sang ask Bryn

  • IF SCOTLAND LEAVES THEN THEY WILL REGRET IT THEY WILL COME BACK TO ENGLAND BEGGING FOR THEIR PLACE BACK BUT GUESS WHAT ENGLAND WILL HAVE TO VOTE AND WE WILL REJECT YOU EBCAUSE WE DON'T WANT HAGGIS OR FRIED MARKS BARS IN OUR EMPIRE

  • @chia208uk We don't want your bad attitude or lack of grammar, Scotland is welcome whenever they want. They've helped England and the rest of Britain a hell of a lot... This coming from an English man.

  • @Dannyr99299 You're a fool. You will remember your comment on YouTube when you and your families are much better off when Scotland withdraws from my kingdom

  • @chia208uk "my kingdom" What, your kingdom of sitting at a computer typing about your dreams of ruling the country and what you'd do with it if you did actually rule it? Yeah, sure, kick me out of that one. Keep on hating brother, 'cause you're not getting any closer to that dream of yours.

  • @chia208uk Hope you dont want rule britannia then either , as it was written by two scotsmen

  • @tardis709 Another scotttish tard clutching at straws to try in vain to defend their cold wet land

  • if i need cheering up, i watch this video. i stick my earphones in and i play it loud :)

  • Beautifull. I am so proud. Keep fighting friends, We will WIN.

  • Shutup about war and just appreciate the music. 

  • I'm not of British descent, but I can't help but feel proud when listening to this glorious sound. Best patriotic song ever.

  • why would scotland want to end the union between the best countrys in the world lond live the union and may it last 300 more years Rule Britannia

  • Gotta say...this is a really fun song ^_^. It makes me smile! :P Ps, if you care I'm American!

  • Immigration does have to stop, it should have stopped decades ago, but in any case it is stopping now.

  • @toleratethis2011

    we are a country of immigrants. Ever since the Roman Conquest the British "people" have been a mongrel mixture of many cultures.

  • @HelmutVillam The same could be said for any country. Rightly or wrongly (I like to think the former), war and immigration has ensured that. I doubt many can claim to be British.

  • @HelmutVillam and so is ever other country ie usa. australia. canada ect

  • @HelmutVillam We are not a country of Africans and Asians etc. though, are we? A few immigrants and no one would be bothered, but it has went way, way beyond that now.

  • "We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." - Winston Churchill

    Yes we're a small country, but we're a small country who owned a third of the planet and we're still a major world power.

  • @MarkramUK

    You're a small country with great history. But Europe's heydays are definitely over. The power now lies in the east.

  • @Nakata995 Our heydey is only over if we just sit back and let it be over.

  • @Nakata995 The east lack the education that the west has, the east thrives of the sales of oil. when the oil runs out or should i say when we find a cleaner source of energy then what for the east?? stupid fool even abu dabi understand that oil will not be used in 100yrs or so hense why ther are spending billions to create a country based for tourism. Power will remain in the west due to education and evolution. So please explain how your comment is corret?

  • @MarkramUK long live , scotland,england,wales,and n.i

  • Bonjour Maxime,

    Last night of the proms est la cérémonie de clôture d'une saison de concerts organisée chaque été au Royaume Uni par la BBC. Ce concert final est toujours grandiose. Tu trouveras tous les renseignements nécessaire en français en tapant cette rubrique en anglais sur Goggle.fr

    Amicalement.

    Gérard à Paris

  • @GERARDFRANCE

    Ah merci Gérard. Et au fait je ne suis pas fils de gendarme mais mon grand-père était major sur le porte-avion Clémenceau, je crois que c'est de là que vient ma passion pour la France et son armée.

    Maxime, à Bordeaux.

  • I find this song nice. I'm french and I would like someone to explain me what the "Last Night of the Proms" is please. Best regards from France.

  • Look im Irish, (im on my partners profile hes Czech) and I like this song. I like the power of it and the patriotisim and the nationalisim. There is nothing about it that degrades any other race. Im proud to be white and Irish be proud of being brittish in any make form or colour. This racisim thing you are all going on about is largely bulshit. Once you treat other races with respect there is nothing wrong with being proud of who you are.

  • ...but there was a period when Britons were slaves. Help me to remember...oh yeah, during the Roman Empire!! trololol

    After this, I know, some patriots will kill me. ahahahah XD

  • @belblus that wasnt the britons it was just the the english

  • @Slamdumb020  keeping up apearances referance there?

  • Look folks, I came here to watch this clip from last night in the proms not to:

    1. Listen to some crap propaganda from the BNP, this video was never intended to feed your shit. I'm quite ashamed it does. Please just fuck off.

    2. Why do we always argue about who's country is 'better'? Its a little tedious, if you've got something to say about History, Politics or anything else go back to school instead of wasting your time on youtube.

    You people infuriate me.

  • @motrules1 Listen mate, we are going to be outnumbered by Africans and Asians in our own country unless we stop immigration. Wake up and smell the coffee idiot.

  • @rudeawakening2011 why is that a bad thing?

  • fuking pussys we will never let another race take over this country i fight for my country and the British people so why dont the rest of you tea drinking arseholes turn the kettle OFF and stand up 4 this great nation instead of complaning about it all the time as long as britain has people like me we will never be overrun by any race the rest of you complaing lazy fuks should do something like VOTE BNP!!

  • @teggart123

    I do agree what you are saying but i think the BNP voting is a bit too far stretched, if you want your TRUE country back the way it was, with better power and dignity:

    VOTE UKIP AND LETS SAY NO TO THE EU!!!!!!!

  • @gtasaluversm All UKIP will do is ever so slightly slow down the time when we are outnumbered in our own country. If that's all you are aiming for you may as well not bother.

  • @stepheng1483 92% of the people in the UK are white...

  • @beechey145 No they are not, that figure is from way back in 2001, it will be much, much, lower now. They have been allowing half a million in every single year since then.

  • @stepheng1483 I hope you know that figures go up AND down.

    Immigrant leave as well. As do British people who are not white. If people stayed all of the time our population would be far over 100 million by now.

  • @beechey145 yes, but overall it is going up.

  • @gtasaluversm UKIP wouldn't solve the problem, as much as I love Farage lol.

  • @gtasaluversm This. I was reading the two parties policies the other day and did feel the BNP a bit too racist. I'm all for multiculturism, but this has gone too far. UKIP all the way!!

  • @chia208uk "A bit too racist"? For you white people having our own countries is "a bit too racist"?

    This just shows how far we have sunk. It is completely obvious white people are going to have our own country, and we should never apologize for stating this obvious fact. Never.

    A few immigrants, ok, but no where near what we have now, this shit has went too far.

  • @rudeawakening2011 I'm not white. But i'm british born and bred. however i do believe people can come to work and live here IF THEY DESERVE IT. I'll be the first to say that immigration has spiralled out of control. How can it be justified we grant someone asylum, when almost all of them come through at least 3 EU countries first which are more than safe. This sort of system would just not be tolerated in a country such as the US, We need change NOW

  • @teggart123 Immigration has nothing to do with the demise of the United Kingdom. Your idea that the "British" are at war with those of other races is perverse, at best.

  • This song makes me so proud. But also sad that Great Britain is no more.....

  • @chia208uk Mate Great Britain is and allways will be alive :)

  • Danes Pride!

  • WHEN BRITAIN FIRRRRRST AT HEAVEN'S COMMAND.....

    proud to be BRITISH! Best country in the world!!

  • They can deny it, they can ban it, they can ignore it, they can forget it. But Britain will remain forever in our hearts, and that they can never take from us. RULE BRITANNIA!

  • Tumbs up if Britain is the best! I>I<I

  • lovely i did an essay on this song for my first university. A very interesting essay!

  • Are we just going to keep on allowing immigration until we are outnumbered by Africans and Asians in our own country?

  • @teilhaus Not how this thing with the EU is going. We're going to end up leaving, and then we get to decide our own laws and policies on immigration.

  • @teilhaus then stop getting outsmarted by them

  • Enjoy yourselves instead of discussing.

    I also find it very funny how just every country seems to think that it and no other country was the real "winner" in WWII.

  • I love the german flags 1:30 - 1:36 :-)

  • God gave me a gift when he made me "BRITISH"..."God save the Queen"

  • @grooverheliboy God gave me a gift being British next year, couple of days of school for the queens jubilee

  • whats that floppy hat on the guy on the right at 0:26

  • Germany had been training an army way before the war.. Britain pulled an army right out their ass and won the war

  • @PARTICLEZXz they wouldn't have won without the support of the Americans, the Soviets, and the rest of the Allied countries

  • @xbox360fanatic123 Here we go again america and Russia claiming all the credit

    as soon as Germany began to take over Poland Great Britain stood up and declared war on Germany.... later on England was getting bombed mostly London and america just sat and watched and that they have the guts to say that they wouldn't have won if it wasn't for america... Pathetic

  • @PARTICLEZXz Agreed 100%, What they forget is that Britain fought ALONE for 2 years after France had surrendered! It was British warfare and tactics that started the defeat of Germany - America merely sped up a process already set in motion, the glory claiming bastards. And as for Russia, how the hell the sneaky useless russians can even claim to have helped is beyond me, switching sides in both WW1 & WW2 - a bunch of bastards!

  • @GTA787

    Actually Germany was defeated by the Russians. Without them fighting Germany from the east, the Germans would most probably have won the war on european soil. Even British historians confirm this. You comments come across as if Britain/US won the war ad libitum, and that is complete nonsense.

  • @PARTICLEZXz The USSR lost 20 million and made it to Berlin. The UK lost around half a million and managed to fuck up both Market Garden and the Rhine crossing before the war was finished (against the weaker front, no less).

    End of discussion.

  • @Tokopol If Britain wouldn't of held off the Nazis, you would of been speaking German right now, or worse, be dead. End of fucking discussion.

  • @PARTICLEZXz

    Fuck you. You guys asked for our help in the War. I'm all for British-American comradery and brotherhood, but you certainly aren't my Anglan brother if you've got an attitude like that.

  • @KittyRokher

    where were our American brothers in the Falkland conflict, oh pious one?

    and we didn't 'ask' for help.

    Japan bombed you, and Japan had an alliance with Germany (that doesn;t make any sense, I know, but that's what happened), so Germany and Italy in turn declared War on you FIRST.

    In other words,

    you entered WWII because every Axis country declared war on you.

    and, of course, you defaulted to the Allied side, relieving pressure for both the Soviets and Great Britain.

  • @KittyRokher If we'd needed help, we would have asked for it from the start, not like 3 years in to the war. We finish our wars, on our own if need be.

  • @PARTICLEZXz

    And yet 8 of 10 German soldiers who were killed in action during WWII were killed by Soviet soldiers. America and Britain only killed the other 2 out of 10.

    America shouldered 90% of the fighting in the Pacific, and provided a vast amount of material during WWII, and helped massively replenish British military equipment, virtually all which was abandoned at Dunkirk.

    I'm not trying to minimize the British contribution here, but please give others credit where due.

  • @adognoW popieram :):) from Poland -true

  • @adognoW The only country there to stand up to be counted first was Britain because everyone else was snuggling behind their borders :P

  • @PARTICLEZXz Don't forget about the frogs.

  • AND BRITAIN....

  • I LOVE MY ENGLAND...

  • @sufcwraggy IRELAND FOREVER

  • @kirby4d The cheques in the post.

  • @kirby4d Yeah Ireland, very powerful.....

  • @sufcwraggy I LOVE MY SCOTLAND, AND BRITAIN LOL.....

  • 1:35

    German trolololol

  • @Galloroemer Say goodbye to our bailout money, and all the £55,000,000 we pay per day to be part of it.

  • Comment removed

  • By the way (BLOODPACT74) . we don't need to rule anything. Look on the fucking TV look at the fucking language. Enough said.

  • @Britbull79 the ENGLISH language came from settlers from germany ..........

  • Fuck it all RULE BRITANNIA. Best country on the planet!

  • Why isnt this the anthem for the british lions tours???

  • In regards to the diplomat who had been caught up when his embassy invaded in Iran, He should of put some bare sub speakers out the window and blasted this! just to piss them off.

  • This is funny, England rules fuck all nowadays, much less the waves. Wasn't the last naval engagement of any note the time that British sailors were captured in Iranian waters? Face it, your time has come and gone, all you've got is faded memories, a wrecked economy and a shit government to show for it. Such is life.

    I don't mind the song though, very well sung by Bryn.

  • @BLOODPACT74 And countless foreigners telling us things we already know, it seems. We arent some deluded nation than believes they still rule the world. Funnily enough this is known as culture, and we have plenty of that left if nothing else. We've got over it, the rest of the world seems to have some sort of inferiority complex over us. "Oh no we must put down Britain! We can't let their egos get too big!!!" Save it.

  • @BLOODPACT74 The British sacrificed there empire for the greater good dont forget that. Britain was backrupt after the first world war becuase it put everything into it. Then as soon as hitler attacked poland in WW2 we immediately declared war on germany even though we were safe on our small island. America who had a massive economy and army decided to stay out and just loan Britain and her close allies money to fight a nutter bent on WORLD domination for 2 whole years.

  • @bicepius And then have the absolute cheek to claim that it was down to them that the War was won, they forget that Britain for two years fought Germany alone (Because the no good French of course surrendered) It was British Warfare that won the war, USA only sped it up towards the end, we would have won regardless! Rule Britannia!

  • @GTA787 what about the russians?

  • @bicepius Well, after chamberlain was kicked put, anyway

  • @bicepius And don't forget that the UK paid off all of their war loans to the United States. It took them until this century but they honoured their debts!

    I am not anti-American. I am glad that they are your's and my allies. I just know where my family came from!

  • @bicepius what? i think you need to learn your own countries history

  • @BLOODPACT74 this song isnt about britain ruling anything. this is how "britons never, never, never, will be slaves". also remember this song is from an era when briton ruled 1/3 of the world (considering how small it is is quite a feat) and the most powerful navy in the world (hence the term "britannia rules the waves". :). also it really isnt common practice for a country to rule other countrys anymore (hence why britain, france, netherlands etc dont have empires any more).

  • @BLOODPACT74 Wrecked Economy? We ain't Greece. Real war time naval engagement was the Falklands war (I think) Which obviously we were victorious. We are still a amazing nation that is at the front of freedom and safety for the world. What's with the obvious hatred for the United Kingdom? RULE BRITANNIA! P.S Iranian Captured a few Marines in a inflatable dingy in Iraqi waters. Hardly a 'engagement' I doubt Iran are stupid enough to confront the Royal Navy.

  • @BLOODPACT74 One of only 2 bluewater navys in the world you fucking moron. BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES! And always will do! :)

  • Swear down I saw the Vatican flag lol

  • I don't consider myself scotish, i consider myself British :) RULE BRITANNIA!

  • @TheScotishScott I consider myself both. You should still be proud of Scotland :)

  • Brilliant piece by Thomas Arne

  • Why is the singer primarily WELSH-dressed?

  • @PrussianElite Bryn Terfel is Welsh...and Wales also, why not, Wales is awesome!

  • @PrussianElite Because Bryn Terfel's Welsh, like me! He's North Walian, to be exact! P.s. Rule, Britannia!! ;)

  • It pisses me off a bit that all countries in the UK besides England (ie Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland) wave their own flags... and the English wave the bloody Union Flag.

  • What is that clapping sound you sometimes hear?

  • I love how the audience jumps up to sing the chorus. Wish people would do that here when the Star Spangled Banner is sung. Cheers to my English cousins!

  • @Craigan2112 You obviously haven't watched many US Men's Soccer/Football games, where Sam's Army and American Outlaws sing the anthem along with whoever is on the field itself.

  • And why are all the immagrants coming to England? Prolly cuz we were so awesome back then that there countrys are still messed up. That besides, rasicts are faggots. Go and actually inform yourselfs on the how and why before spitting random internet flames like me and then go to a proper debating forum and get ur ass handed 2u. Now just appreciate how awesome this song and England is. Well and me ofcourse.

  • RULE BRITANNIA!

  • Rule Fascist Britannia! We have to fight the Eurocrats and stop Germany from becoming a European Empire! Vote UKIP! Vote for a protective nationalistic Britain!

  • @TinW4tch Wales is actually considered the land of music.

  • @AmericanGuy7654 i can't believe i didn't know that

  • Long live the union of England, Whales, Scottland, and Ireland i love everyone under the Union Jack im english and i love all the Scotts the Irish and the Welsh you guys are all the best.

  • also i love that blazer

  • anyone noticed the welsh are generally really good at singing?

  • @TinW4tch We are well known for it. Just like the English drink tea, the Scottish play bagpipes and the Irish drink Guiness

  • Note to self: Stop reading youtube comments.

  • Comment removed

  • Lonsword, just repeating nonsense doesn't make it more likely to be true.

    Look at Wiki, Europe is the most homogenous continent on Earth and Britain and Ireland stuck at the end of it more homogenous still. Until post war Britian had only immigration in any numbers from people who were essentially the same, different tribes in its thousands of years of human inhabitation. That gave it a distinctive culture which is now being eroded by immigrsation from the third world, a very mixed invader

  • Britain is a country that was built on immigration and integration. It has thrived over the centuries, BECAUSE of immigration and integration, not in spite of it.

  • @Longsword24

    Well now your immigration threatens to wipe out your culture.

    No big deal though, keep spewing your liberal nonsense while a mosque replaces a church and your social services go broke from strain.

    Grow up.

  • @Coldshot89

    Britian has been a melting-pot of different nationalities from as far as written history expands. You're all bloody immigrants you prick.

  • @iOnlyHaveThisForWoW

    Your flowery rhetoric amounts to nothing.

    The "melting-pot" (PUKE) of different nationalities that comprised Britain before it's massive immigration influx resulted in a 95% white Britain. Why do you think Britain should take on massive mixed ethnics? Britain is great because it's white not in-spite of it. The world won't realize that until all the whites are gone and then it'll only be a matter of time until the earth is back in the stone ages.

  • @Coldshot89

    Oh sorry, didn't realize your argument also involved the outdated 1800's racist views. "ENGLAND IS GREAT BECAUSE IT'S WHITE" 'White' is not an ethnicity. You claim to be complaining about immigration (which includes every nationality and race), but in reality you're just a petty racist.

    Good to know.

  • @Coldshot89 let me guess you support the BNP..

  • Rule Britannia,

    Britannia rule the waves!

  • ''britannia rules the waves'' lol not any more, the Americans do now. Soon to be the Chinese in a couple of years time. Reality Bitch Slap

  • @TheCarhunter What language is that you're typing?

  • Why are there English, Welsh, and Scots throwing about disgusting comments about each other? It was these three nations COMBINED that ruled the world.

  • @NsTbumfluff Hell yeah!

  • @NsTbumfluff cas they are living in the past

  • Comment removed

  • Rule BRITANNIA!

  • What a ridiculously fabulous coat

  • Give me goosebumps xD Why is this not our national anthem!? Great video :)

  • @DaNnYbOiiDaRe It is our national anthem, even if they tell us it isn't!

  • ey You will have a fun time with me

  • Argably Britannia is what has made the world today, the new world, the trading companies in the East, medicine, the industrial revolution, most people from America and other countries say Britains crap and what's it ever done for the world, well my question to them is "What haven't we done" while much of the world sat back in their comfort we met the glares of the Nazi warmachine, we endured hardships that other countries will never, ever know, we are the greatest living nation in existance.

  • @jackie901 true though we are pretty shit now..

  • @jackie901 this is the most true statement anyone will ever make

  • Even Australians feel a sense of Britishness.

  • @liberalcynic well some do, some dont, however they are still arguing whether they should let go of the monarchy or not. I'm a brit expat in oz, and half of them are in support of the monarchy and in support of the commonwealth. it's still a young society since they arguing over their constitution formation.

  • @liberalcynic I am Canadian and must admit music like this makes one proud to be part of the commonwealth

  • the world would be a better place if we were still in charge :)

  • If you look carefully there's British flags above the German ones It's prussia (Germans that had such a Fucking mega boner for Britain)

  • Wow. The Brits re the meanest, toughest white people on the planet, Britain punches far above its weight!

  • Pardon if I sound like an idiot...but why are there German flags in there?

  • @Seikufu The british royal family are infact german ....grand orchestral music is associated with germany and austria + there are many historically recent immigrations from germany to england & 70-80% of english peoples blood goes back to germany a long long time ago.

  • iw ould hate it if scottish independence split up our great and prideful union

  • @RPGaddictC

    The SNP basically agree that it would make scotland weaker and just campaign for more freedom over their country

  • @RPGaddictC

    Your great and prideful union will resemble nothing of it's current appearance.

    Let the Scots seperate so at least they can keep their country white.

    As they say "there's no Britons in Britain anymore"

    Stop mass immigration to London.

    Get the Eff out of the EU.

    Ron Paul 2012.

  • @Coldshot89 You think the average Brit is happy with this "multicutlural" society? Its a rather strange situation as everyone knows that our culture or way of life is threatened by third world immigration to our shores, yet when ANYONE says anything about it they get branded as a "racist" by people who actually believe what they are saing. they only party within the UK who actually recognise this threat is the BNP, ironically though they are probably racists.
