Fantasia on British Sea-Songs Part 2 inc. Rule Britannia - Last Night Proms 2012 

Been to Malta twice as a lad, we owe a huge debt to your island. Joseph has delivered the best rendition ever. Bet Wishes from the UK.

diagoros melos You are British

Other way round for me

Same here ,born in Yorkshire but moved here at a week old,been here ever since

We are all the same blood, we are not separate races. Only geography and war parted us.

Thank you Regards from London UK

I am an American of British heritage. I love Britain. God Bless UK

Bit late.

But thanks anyway buddy.

WAL---as the youngster in our family, it's your duty to look after your old Great Great Great Grandmother.

Malta didn't get awarded the George Cross for nothing - she got hammered by the Italians and Germans and yet remained true.

@@patrickconnolly3311 My uncle served there during the siege, he lost a lot of weight and according to my aunt had immense respect for the people of Malta. Unfortunately he didn’t make it home. He was on the minesweepers based in Malta.

+forverinbluejeans yes being anti-islamic is both good and sane.

+forverinbluejeans You are not aloud to be patriotic in Britain! You will be named a racist by the liberal lunatics whilst they slowly hand your great nation over to the EU...

+forverinbluejeans I love that people in Britain have a problem with flag waving. I hate all nationalism to be honest from the SNP to UKIP to football fans to Argentine Malvinas lovers.The fact that we're really shit at it and can barely even refer to ourselves as English without wanting to offend anyone is really reassuringly pathetic and actually makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Thank god we don't live in one of those fervent nationalist countries like Russia or America or North Korea who are always nation this, mother Russia that. Last Night of the Proms is a bit of fun, but thank god we don't take it too seriously.

Yes thank "god" british youngsters are a bunch of spineless cowardly egotistical buffoons.. it's working wonders for the country and the people.

luke yates Non sequitur. PS: suck it up

He's wearing the TeamGB Olympic tracksuit as a recognition of the London 2012 Olympic games! The best the world has ever seen!

Welcome home to the greatest country on earth

Of course, it is is always drizzling when you get back to Heathrow but I do agree with you.

hear,hear

I am British and my heart only sinks when I return to this xenophobic and bigoted outpost of a racist history

@@wolfdog9311 WELL i HOPE YOU WERE ABLE TO ADJUST TO THE NEW, LONDONISTAN

Well, he *was* English on his mum's side, you know... But yeah, he was very enamored of all things British, particularly the British Royal Navy, which he desperately wanted a similar fleet for Imperial Germany. The build up of both those navies in the late 1800s and early 1900s were among the things that precipitated the Great War.

He was a grandson of Queen Victoria and as far as I understand always craved for acceptance by his English relatives.

AN UNEXPECTED THING TO HEAR--BUT HE CERTAINLY WAS ENVIOUS, OF OUR VERY EARLY START, IN CREATING AN EMPIRE. EVEN HITLER WAS IMPRESSED, AND SAID AS MUCH. WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT EMPIRE, THE MAIN THING IS, THAT HAVING ONE IS MUCH MUCH BETTER, THAN BEING PART, OF SOMEONE ELSES EMPIRE. BECAUSE, THOSE WERE THE OPTIONS. VIRTUALLY THE WHOLE OF EUROPE, HAD ONE AT SOME TIME OR OTHER. OURS WAS JUST THE GREATEST AND LONGEST LASTING.

@@MrDaiseymay I agree..Britain had the largest and most prosperous Empire in the World.We educated, built railways, etc. Germany still admires Great Britain and we are related, despite two World Wars.Peace and blessings.

It's clear that that Russian, British and German royal families (Spanish) are all connected.

Does the other half sulk and cause trouble?

we can not leave, because we are the EU :-)

@The Imperialist Quite right, I was worried then, I thought he was trying to leave himself---a tricky one.

You really should, before the "ship" sinks

Malta was granted a V.C. for their unquestioning loyalty and bravery in WW2.And absolutely rightly so !!

War and a good musician! Much love from Wales to you. All of you.

@@Anglo_Saxon1 That was a George Cross, the highest civilian award for bravery. The Victoria Cross is only awarded to individual service personnel for outstanding gallantry in the face of the enemy. But, as you said well deserved.

@@allenjenkins7947 yeah,my mistake.G.C. not V.C.

We are in danger of becoming an enslaved nation if we do not kick back against the irational edicts coming out of Westminster ." There is nothing more permanent than a `temporary` govt. solution " !

@@24132033moore Moron.

+Edwin Abbel long live the netherlands

What about an islamic republic lol or is that the same thing ?

Our royals are related by the way

@@wkdravenna not quite

Hey Edwin abbel England does NOT rule the waves and neither does The Dutch. WE Americans rule the waves.Our Navy can swollow both of yours.When Britain has what 1 carrier? The Amercians we have what a dozen! Let's get real America rules the waves

Thank you for your kind comments they are really appreciated Hugs from London UK. God bless Russia.

SPEAKING FROM OUTSIDE RUSSIA?

My view has always been that people are people the world over.. I bear no animosity to russians, americans, japanese, chinese, or anything in between. Having said that, I also respect the differences between the russian, american, japanese and chinese. If we are to retain culture, then boundaries have to be set, and those boundaries are borders. Globalism is not an answer, it is something to be opposed. Britain recognised that, and Brexit happened. If you come to a future night at the proms and bring a Russian flag, you'll be welcomed. If I see an EU flag there, I will attempt to burn the thing; Britain has more in common with Russia than it does with the EU. Um, but we are not socialist, or communist........... just saying.

@@MrDaiseymay speaking from one southern Russia's city=)

@@ove_a_oveEXCELLENT---GOOD TO KNOW.

Island Guy: Forever a United Empire Loyalist (UEL!) then?! The Maple 🍁 Leaf Forever! 🇨🇦🇬🇧

Russia is a great nation with excellent musicians. I am a pianist and my best teacher is from that nation. I greatly admire the discipline they apply in fingering techniques to achieve the virtuosity that characterizes them. Best regards!

Bolshoi Spacibo. Many thanks.

Canada is a great sister nation. And Justin Trudeau an excellent ruler.

Technically, we are one.

Not great hymn at all just jingoistic nonsense. It must be embarrassing for fine musicians to have to perform this bilge every year.

@@mikewalsh6168 Grow up you envious prat.

@@mikewalsh6168 BRITANNIA RULE THE WAVES

Thank you George. I've known a lot of Americans in my 71 years and I consider you to be family. We may squabble at times, but we have a mutual warm affection and we will always fight for each other. FAMILY. 🇺🇸🇬🇧♥️

@@mikewalsh6168 you cannot Know the words or Why they were written. If you are British spewing such rubbish, you should be ashamed

Not all what comes from English descent is decent.

@@powerdriller4124 Since when did I say it was?

@@unhooked25 :: You cherry pick the "decent" of English. Or is it that you mistook "decent" for "descent"?? Ha! (I was trying that you pay attention to spelling).

@@powerdriller4124 Well, as a matter of fact, I did pay attention to the spelling, but I had to toss the coin on whether your statement cynical, or a play on words.

I think maybe you meant 'descent'.You wrote "very proud to be of English DECENT".There's a big difference mate,and it's confusing.i know you wrote the comment fuckin years ago but it might be worth putting right for the sake of the idiots.

GREAT !--now tell those utter arseholes, who like kissing the EU Ringpiece

That's how we stuffed the krauts within a little help from the yanks back in WW2 .

That thought occurred to me, was wonderful to watch, and the bbc and their like minded, will NEVER stop this

Ja för hela grejen med att lämna EU gick ju jävligt bra xD

Sooo bless you Mr Anderson.....God Bless Sweden.....

he gick ju helt okej dock!

Tak sa mycket gamal ven!

But we brits are envious of your feminist government. How’s that Muslim immigration going by the way?

Our Beloved Britannia!!

You are always welcome! We English love all our world wide friends! x

I can always help...

WELL QUITE

excellent!

For five minutes you can feel like a british ...

Life in the Commonwealth is a wonderful thing.

unbreakable national feeling of the british people - I say it as a german ... :-)

ha ha I know... there is something generally shit hot about it really

Good music can do that to you. I admire patriotism (love of the LAND) in all nations.

First I feel very proud to see a Maltese tenor sing British patriotic songs.I Agree with you 100% Malta was Britain's favourite colony because we helped the British to win the war and Malta was also the only country (outside UK) that HRH Queen Elizabeth ever lived the only bad thing was that we didn't became a one country in 1956 God Save Britain God Save the Queen from Malta 🇲🇹🇬🇧

Love to your brave Island

A brave island who stood with us against tyranny. Thanks.

*Slaves. Britons never will be slaves. It's a freedom proclamation.

British person.

hermajesty52 do you like him

@@tjw8151 oh yes, of course!

We want Ireland back in the Union

You'll get over it. Eventually

One Ireland, united under Westminster.

You are great, man!!!!!

keep you voice down

He has a wonderful voice

Every right to.

If you love the UK so much as you say so why the kraut and not the King's English .

***** It is, however it is far more appropriate to say the UK (United Kingdom) in this context as this songs belongs to the British people, not just England, in fact Rule Britania was written by someone from Scotland :D

***** Oh and also, the most prominent flag being flown on the video is the union flag, which is the national flag of the UK. England's flag is a red cross on white background call "St George's Cross"

Britain thank you very much. Have you not seen Wales?

Britain

This American wholeheartedly agrees.

Danke shun. (sorry for the spelling)

That is so right! Germany is a week country today! Merkel must go!

As I'm American I only wish that your country would have treated your American colonials better so that that there would never would have been a reason for your subject to form an independent nation. So sad as most Americans love the British people.

Rule Britannia! Merkel must go, and Dexit must come.

@@josephonwhidbey WAL---IT WAS THE TIMES WASN'T IT, A DIFFERENT ERA. BRITAIN WAS NO DIFFERENT TOWARDS IT'S COLONIALS THAN ANY OTHER EUROPEAN EMPIRE. BUT WE WERE THE FIRST TO ABANDON SLAVERY. THE BRITISH NAVY HUNTED DOWN ANY SLAVE SHIP OF OTHER NATIONALITY, AND SET THE SLAVES FREE---FACT.

We will rescue you from that communist dictatorship one day. I promise. Glory to British Hong Kong!

@@thewelsh-lad8719 now would be a good time!

Send the entire fleet to Asia and crush them, show them the power of the Royal Navy.

our hearts bleed for you--have courage

Yes, unlawfully enslaving foreigners was more Brittania's style...

@Nordic Tsar When was this exactly?

@Nordic Tsar It's not really relevant either way. It doesn't excuse the Western slave trade...

That they're left-wing fuck ups, and that people of their dispositions fade from memory once their grandchildren die.

That people voted to leave but the government didn't do shit. XD

Ever thought about what your grand children will say about YOU, ducky? Not now - some years in the future ...

Richie Ingpiece And from freeing us from invasions of people with names like Zwetschge Krampus.

I'll tell them they're heroes for voting us back in.

err no there an zero uploads of the us to match this one !! go figure

usa How would that go? 'When America first arose from out the brown ooze...'

Liberia

Russia.

@@Thewarrockowntoo much much hatred, too many cops for me-- i left the u s 4&1/2yrs ago; i may return to a militia controlled area, if at all

hahahahahahahahahahahaha---true though, and ozzies and Kiwis etc etc etc etc etc etc etc THE COMMONWEALTH. !!

England is no longer free, nor shall this change in the future. Our salvation is through the Lord Jesus Christ, which brings new resolve to a dying people.

There will always be an England if the good and true men of America have anything to say about it !!!

We did it! We're out!

You shouldn't be proud. The empire was built on theft, exploitation and slavery. Are you really proud of that?
