Union Jack flags and scarves at the ready as Katie Derham presents the grand finale of this year's Proms, live from the Royal Albert Hall. Finnish conductor Sakari Oramo takes to the podium to lead violinist Janine Jansen and baritone Roderick Williams as they join the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Singers and the BBC Symphony Chorus in a rousing selection of music. Highlights include a medley of songs from Disney's classic Mary Poppins, to celebrate the movie's 50th anniversary, Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho, and Ansell's Plymouth Hoe, before the traditional trio of anthems to round off the concert - Rule Britannia, Land of Hope and Glory, and Jerusalem - with audiences joining in from Proms in the Park concerts in Glasgow, Swansea, Belfast and London. Highlights of the Last Night celebrations from all four parks can be seen via the red button

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,
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.
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,
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.
This could be the final push towards a YES vote.
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On England's pleasant pastures seen!
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In England's green & pleasant Land

God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save The Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save The Queen!
O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish[26] tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save The Queen!

Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
On Old long syne.
CHORUS:
On Old long syne my Jo,
On Old long syne,
That thou canst never once reflect,
On Old long syne.

Love it!

The Brittn arrangement of the national anthem is really rather good isn't it.
Jerusalem has been so effective for the England national anthem at the commonwealth games, so why does the England football team persist with the UK national anthem before its games?

I love Jerusalem (Blake / Parry) as a national anthem almost as much as I loathe 'God Save The Queen'.
For a start, I'm a citizen, not a subject and for a second, Jerusalem evokes an idea of what England could be, and is a call to arms to the patriot to get on with delivering social justice and universal humanity
