This letter appeared in the Hull Daily Mail on 30 September 2025. The author argues that the waving of European flags at The Last Night Of The Proms was appropriate, given that it is a joyous celebration of music - not nationalism.

“Internationalism is an important feature of #TheProms — never about promoting a nationalistic, populist UK identity”
— Hull Daily Mail letter, replying to reader triggered by #EU flags at #LastNightOfTheProms.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" by RPWL & Freisinger Symphonieorchester YouTube video by Rockklassiker Freising

There was lots of hype about the 'orchestral' version of Bohemian Rhapsody performed at the last night of the Proms, but to my ears, this orchestral version is 100 times better...

With plenty of good, parts of the #BBCproms, inc. #LastNightOfTheProms, were disrespectful to hard-working classical musicians; e.g., by copying an aspect of AMERICAN culture - rock - Brian May & Roger Taylor are a lot wealthier than those in the orchestra davidfranks.blogspot.com

We had so much fun at our Last Night of the Proms celebration last week, that we've decided to do it again! Join us at The Note Warehouse tomorrow (Monday) at 11am for a special extended "Sing and Smile" session with tea and cake to follow.

Re #LondonProtest & #BBCproms, if, soon after a Chinese lady (Elim Chan) takes over the BBC Symphony Orchestra, native violinists are replaced with Chinese ones isn't that #racist? (Count them as #LastNightOfTheProms is on iPlayer.); my #poem on this - walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/04/walk...

Last Night of the Proms EU flag.

Congratulations to the Proms audience for placing an EU flag where it was not only lit, but featured in camera shots. #LastNightOfTheProms

Queen give the BBC Proms a Rhapsodic send-off The rock band play an orchestral version of Bohemian Rhapsody; while Bill Bailey plays a typewriter.

I don't often watch BBC #LastNightofTheProms, but finale in 2025 included Stuart Morley's all-new orchestral arrangement of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody featuring Sir Brian May and Roger Taylor.

Thousands of people with flags in London today heading for the Albert Hall and the Last Night of the Proms, the highlight of which was a piece of music by a gay man from Zanzibar performed by a multi-national orchestra conducted by an East-Asian woman.

Brexit hasn’t made us wealthier, safer, stronger or even any more independent. Seeing all the wonderful 🇪🇺+ 🇬🇧 flags waving together tonight reminds us all that we can be proud to be British as well as proud to be European ⭐️.

Interesting to see that the quintessentialy British #LastNightofTheProms was a sea of blue, awash with #EU flags - far fewer #UnionJacks were on display & not a cross of St George to be seen.
Well, the #BBCProms is notorious for its lefty audience! 😂

All that is joyous and good about our country during the #LastNightoftheProms followed by all that is sad and bad in the news.
