As a proud Kiwi, (New Zealander), I can say with confidence, New Zealand is so very proud of Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. Yes, she may be a ONZ, CH, DBE and AC recipient... but she will always be our "girl", no matter what age she is! God bless you Kiri!

@@manuelveytia3961 Hi Manuel. So pleased to read your nice reply. Thank you. Not only is she talented, but Kiri has been a wonderful ambassador representing New Zealand for well over 50 years. My parents had the pleasure of meeting Kiri at a meet and greet after a concert in the 1980`s (Sydney Australia), and confirmed what a truly lovely and genuine person she really is. I lovingly recall a beautiful large print of the Kiri portrait painted by Raymond Ching hanging in our family home in honor of her for many years. She`s as beautiful now as she was then. Wishing you good health and music. Tony.

Brilliantly sung, powerful, but with a joyous sense of cheeky fun in proudly displaying his Welsh patriotism with the ultimate tongue in cheek of singing the third verse in Welsh to peals of laughter from the crowd - made them sing the chorus twice as loud...😉! Rousing, fun and patriotic with a tinge of satire all in the same performance - lightning in a bottle...
