What a truly lovely three songs these were, (in spite of the Bonnie Prince Charlie song), never bettered in any prom since. Lets hope the spirit of these songs keeps the union of our three mighty Kingdoms together

[TheRealMikPorter]

The sum of our strengths is less than the strength of our sum. Please stop devolution and keep the United Kingdom united and Britain Great. This beautiful song shows the way life should be and the proms at this point demonstrated the best of our isles

@mrleemrlee24 Not hate, surely? Joke about certainly, and respect absolutely.

@ILUVlupin Agree - we have to dig hard to find them down under, don't we? When it all gets too hard spend a night at the Opera House. It's a truly a world class cultural experience which we should be proud. But wouldn't it be great to have a Proms Night like this?

Bonnie Prince Charlie was a Catholic traitor and should have been hung, drawn and quartered.

Also, as everyone else has said ... The Welsh.

These aren't just kiddies. The selection process for being in *any* choir (in th UK) is harsh - you have to be pitch perfect, no electronics, one chance at selection.

These kids were selected from all the other pitch perfect kids to sing tonight.

Good!

I don't get it - what does the main orchestra and audience in Royal Albert Hall do while the other 3 songs are being sung at 3 different places? Do they watch through a live video recording, or have 3 different events just been strung together in video for dramatic reasons?
