In previous years, there has been animated discussion about the suitability of some of the traditional musical items in the Last Night of the Proms. But I could not help noticing the preponderance of one flag being displayed by this year’s audience – that of the European Union. Quite a difference from the ugly events on the streets of London a few hours earlier.
