We were in Wales,a few weeks ago,just for a weekend,we love the country,too.My husbands grandparents were Welsh speakers,from Flintshire.

I went to a private school that had schools all over the UK and we used to have our Prize giving at The Royal Albert Hall. One year I was in my school Choir, all the school Choirs were there, we were 250 strong. I was up there, behind the orchestra, to the right of that amazing organ. The orchestra was The London Symphany Orchestra conducted by John Tobin. Two of the songs we sang were Jerusalem and Land of Hope and Glory. First the orchestra, then us, and then the conductor turned round to the audience, tweeked his baton to signal them to stand up and then they all joined in and Ohhhhh myyyyyy GOD, my 13 year old self was absolutely blown away, it was more than an amazing experience. I'm 76 now, I hear that intro ... a wave of nostalgia and pure joy creeps through me and then when the chorus starts it just blows my mind. I will never EVER forget that feeling.

The reason why you were moved to Land of Hope and Glory is that you have lots of British DNA in you Steve!!

Our only common contemporary link is the language, and even then you Americans messed up the spelling and some of the grammar.

You lot went on to create a Frankenstein.

Lyrics: Land of Hope and Glory Mother of the Free How shall we extol thee Who are born of thee? Wider still, and wider Shall thy bounds be set; God, who made thee mighty Make thee mightier yet! Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned God make thee mightier yet! On Sov'ran brows, beloved, renowned Once more thy crown is set Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained Have ruled thee well and long; By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained Thine Empire shall be strong Thy fame is ancient as the days As Ocean large and wide: A pride that dares, and heeds not praise A stern and silent pride Not that false joy that dreams content With what our sires have won; The blood a hero sire hath spent Still nerves a hero son

Love of country, when done purely out of love, and not ulterior motives, is the most powerful collective experience that ALL countries have, the older the country, probably the deeper it goes, but patriotism doesn't have to be about dislike of other, but pride of self and those you share a common ground with. If it doesn't make your eyes water, what will? The UK isn't the most forward in day to day shows of patriotism, but when special occasions demand it, the Brits show you that its always there, just not always shown.

Patriotism isn't about what you wear on the outside, or fly outside your home. It's what's inside you, what you believe, whom you believe, what you want your country and its people to stand for.

It may be familiar because The Land of Hope and Glory came from Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance.

I’m no Brit but I just ❤ this always have and always will

I worked at the royal albert hall for a few years, it’s a must see but often overlooked London tourist attraction! As an employee I got to go on a few of the tours, which are SO much fun, the guides are super knowledgable and are passionate about their jobs. A few of them (or at least when I worked there) are history or music students, and theyre really lovely kids and love answering questions. Working during proms season was magical, I sold programmes and would get to go out and chat with the regular prommers who are mostly older people. They’d ask me about my studies, and share memories of past proms with me, it’s such a nice community!

I loved your wonderful, visceral reaction. Last Night at the Proms is always a spectacular evening of British patriotism. Cheers!

Land of Hope and glory was nearly Britain's anthem, the Royal Albert Hall is not big enough so they live stream it to a London Park so more can enjoy it and it is usually live on tv. The prom season starts in july and ends in September. if you contact the Royal Albert Hall you can et details of the tickets

The patriotic songs come at the end of the Last Night of the Proms. The "he's a jolly good fellow" is a tribute to the conductor at the end of the evening, just before the final medley.

Your expression and reaction says it all. I also teared up - and I am a 72-year-old coffin dodger.

Thank you o your lovely comment,this always brings tears to my eyes,🇬🇧

Sometimes we just get it right! 🇬🇧 ♥️

Reminds me of our most excellent late queen. Goosebumps!

I have fond memories of having a season ticket to all the Proms concerts many years ago (1981) when I lived/worked in London. The Last Night was the icing on the cake - realising a dream from childhood (the Last Night of the Proms was something we kids were allowed to stay & watch on TV every year!) - hubby & I spent all day in the queue on the Last Night & after the stampede through the doors we managed to be five rows from the front, along with our banner, hats & T-shirts emblazoned with the musical notation of Rule Britannia & Land of Hope & Glory! Happy days - but now in our old age we watch it from the comfort of our armchairs at home!

The concert is shown around the UK on big screens. Everyone is watching and listening to the same concert. Although outside has a slight delay.

They were giving him three cheers,and singing ,For he’s a jolly good fellow. Showing their appreciation.

Theres a lot to be proud of on this little island of ours. Long may this tradition continue!

"God who made thee mighty make ye mightier yet" wonderful patriotic song about our land.

Bursts my British heart with pride every time

Its English not British.

I think you will know this piece as pomp and circumstance. When I hear these patriotic pieces, my hairs stand on end and get goose pimples/bumps and this feeling comes over me but can't put it into words (possibly to with the pride I have and the 1500 years of Monarchy). Even more so when it is being sing by thousands and thousands of your fellow Nations singing them

Well Steve, I haven't (yet) got to the Proms never mind the last night which is quite something they say. Yes, very moving especially seeing that HUGE crowd watching outdoors... likely Hyde Park which could contain that volume of people and which has hosted many a pop concert. It's one of those things, ya gotta be there to experience it for real...

I'm sure many have told you these things already, but Land of Hope and Glory music (Pomp and Circumstance) was the usual graduation music in the USA for a long time, including at mine. Also, the people outdoors were in Hyde Park (and other places) watching this same event at the same time on a big outdoor screen.

This sums up the pride and the patriotism of the country I love with all my heart.

The Last Night of the Proms is so patriotically popular that as well as a totally full Royal Albert Hall there are large screens around the UK - including Hyde Park as shown here. The event happens every year and the pride never seems to diminish. Land of Hope and Glory indeed. 🇬🇧❤

That’s a stretch. It might be a down south thing, because I’ve never met anyone who has been to, or even watched the Proms on telly.

@@juankusoff People who have never listened to the concerts on Radio or watched some of them on the TV would be unlikely to talk about them to anyone. If I met you, I wouldn't bring up the subject of Rugby League or Ed Sheeran, for instance, as I know nothing about them. I've lived on the same Council estate in Wales for nearly 70 years and I'm one of around 3 millions people who tuned in to BBC Radio 3 each week to listen to the concerts. At my age, my circle of friends is diminishing rapidly but one issue most of us have is that we tend to mix with people who have similar opinions or interests but that doesn't mean that other opinions aren't valid and shouldn't be respected.

Land of hope and glory, at the proms in sync being sung at events in northern Ireland, England Scotland and Wales still gives me goosebumps

This makes me cry! It's such a beautiful expression of love and patriotism! Experienced it once live at the Albert Hall on the Last Night of the Proms in 1985. Every single person attending this performance is totally caught up in the emotion. It is broadcast throughout the London Parks and all over the UK. Listen to the Sailors Hornpipe - that's another favourite.

Notice the diversity of the crowd both inside and outside the Albert Hall. Old and young, Tories and Labour singing together. Patriotism without politics Thanks again.

I have lived and worked in a few countries and can say ,without a doubt the Britain is the most diverse of countries. We all get on well together. Have not been in the country since the present trouble with those who want to change the way Britain is run. As my parents always said, “Do not bite the hand that feeds you “ You will regret it.🥰🥰🤗🤗💕💕🦘

If ever you can get to somewhere British where this is sung, its amazing!! The atmosphere just hits you like a sledge hammer

As a country we may have are flaws but it's things like this that makes me beam with pride. I consider myself very lucky to have been born here

This is my favourite piece in the Last Night of the Proms. I get goosebumps every time and it just fills me with pride. I think Land of Hope and Glory is used at US graduation ceremonies so that's probably where you've heard it before.

Your genuine heartfelt reaction made me cry and as a Brit we hear this tune often. much love to you from across the pond xx

Thanks Adalind it was a beautiful, patriotic song. I truly enjoyed it. Hope you're well. :)

One my favourite songs and proud to be British

So glad he recognised our true patriotism. When we sing as singular nations, we are truly great. WHEN we sing as Great Britain or the UK and join in national celebration, then we are UNBEATABLE. We really are....... Have a tear in your eye... Pride does that so enjoy it...

I've always found large crowds singing in unison very emotional too, Steve - and especially at full volume! I saw some other Americans react to it recently and they said this is the music that is played at graduation ceremonies over there, if that helps you at all... The other songs that are normally sung at this event are indeed Jerusalem, God save the King and Auld Lang Syne. You may wish to check out the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance, which is another annual even held in the Royal Albert Hall. This is always attended by Senior Members of the Royal Family, including the cousins of Queen Elizabeth II, though it remains to be seen whether they will still be involved in the Reign of King Charles III. It features a number of military units, some of which will do various displays, and in recent years there has also been musical performances before it winds up into a short act of Christian worship, with hymn-singing. The National Anthem is usually played as the Royals arrive and also sung, just before they leave. Also, check out the Anthems used by our national football and rugby teams. The Welsh one, Hen Wlad y Nhadau (Land of My Fathers) is especially stirring - at a rugby international in Cardiff Arms Park, for example.

Wales is not a real "Nation" and never has been. The notion is authentic as modern Druids - a confection created by peddlers of pseudo-Nationalism - and legitimised by Miranda Blair and his pals for party-politcal ends.

Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1" - but we Americans know it as the Graduation March. Practically ubiquitous at high school and college graduations. We've also repurposed the tune from "God Save the King" for our patriotic song "My country 'tis of thee".

RULE Britannia! RULE!!! Land of Hope and Glory is the ultimate for Last Night of the Proms. Makes me cry every time. Very glad you enjoyed it so much and thanks for taking a look.

Rule Britannia “at last a correction “ not royal, but it is very uplifting the full season of Prom-Nights are all worth a watch & listen culminating in Last Night. Of The Proms an experience no one should miss

This gives me goosebumps, whenever I hear it ……. So proud to be British 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Dame Vera Lynn does an equally upbeat and rousing version of “ Land Of Hope And Glory”. You cannot get more British and patriotic than that.

The outside events are Proms in the Park, which usually have their own lineup of artists performing and then link up with the Royal Albert Hall via the screens on the stages for the ending (Rule Britannia/Land of Hope and Glory/Jerusalem and God Save the Queen(or King now)). I was lucky enough to be in the crowd in Hyde Park, which you saw on the video that night, such a fantastic experience.

Now that's totally British and we are immensely proud to be.
