It's more than time we stood up to all the people who want to use us and sneer if they can't do so. You mention many ancient traditions but as I read the list, I thought of how many we've lost. We need to protect them and stand proud - to be British is something very special.Beth Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291800895744785318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758308854209130362.post-55101824226457541202013-09-08T22:52:42.270+01:002013-09-08T22:52:42.270+01:00LOL, Ellen.

But even without it, the Last Night is still wonderful. I've always said Land of H and G should be our National Anthem, but of course it's too 'imperialistic' now.Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758308854209130362.post-62330463076563714622013-09-08T22:06:15.875+01:002013-09-08T22:06:15.875+01:00Well said, Paula.

I agree with every word.<br />Yes, I think it terribly sad they no longer do the "hornpipe" at the Last Night of the Proms, stems from that lousy conductor who had L of H and G at the beginning, forget his name - egotist!margaret blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994723897446758457noreply@blogger.com
