03:00When I lived in central Europe, I used to wonder why continental
television stations were addicted to the Last Night. When I finally
attended it in 1999, I understood.Rightly or wrongly, the world sees not just an outpouring of Britishness,
but a celebration of the brotherhood of man. That goes for many in the
audience, too. Among hundreds of flags waved in Elgar’s Pomp and
Circumstance No. 1 on Saturday, I counted 14 nations, from German to
Japanese, Australian to American. “Land of Hope and Glory” is no longer
an English totem. That’s a good development@tommy-toxen wrote:
