I won the lottery of life when I was born in dear Blighty!

As a German I don't mind British national pride at all, because it is the pride of a free and democratic nation.

[TheSplendidMrHaza22]

because thats just how its done. Dont question just enjoy

[Khristophoros1001]

I don't understand why they are squatting like that? Anyone knows?

[Agorsan]

@jnkization Actually we are more of a monarch imperialism democratic nation

[TimBrewin]

@jnkization I think that for a German to say that represents the height of humanity.  Well done, you.

@timeodaneosetdona Sad that the end has begun, then, as the Fantasia hasn't appeared for 4 years. Miserable decision, to say the LEAST! The greatest part of audience participation went away, and it sucks industrial-strength wind!

[MoonEyes2k]

In order of appearance,

The Saucy Arethusa

Tom Bowling

The Sailors Hornpipe/Jack's the Lad(with the traditional competition)

@50kippercat Same sort of idiotic mentality that meant Trafalgar was not celebrated more widely incase it offended our French and Spanish brethren....... It might be reinstated shortly on some ridiculous five year cycle. Trust the zealously PC BBC.

[malcolmcog]

We helped rid Iraq of a dictator, and Libya of another dictator, is that a bad thing ? Or are The British still Empire building baddies ?

@hobitshouse Kipper had better be having a bath. The Proms without the Fantasia would be the beginning of the end; the thin end of the wedge.
