Rule Britannia

We like going to the Proms in the Park every September but this year the forecast predicted rain and now the boys are too heavy to carry home, so we decided to do something different for the Last Night of the Proms.  We went to a celebration for children in St Martin's in the Field.  The boys enjoyed waving their Union Jacks around while singing some of the old favourites like Land of Hope and Glory, Rule Britannia and Jerusalem.  Afterwards we did some brass rubbing in the crypt.  What impressed me about the outing is that Nicholas stuck his hand up to conduct the orchestra and then on the way home he joined in with a drumming busker in the street.  All the cheers from the crowd made him really shy!

Concentrating

Rule Britannia


Danny playing the fool

Nick conducting

Trying their hand at brass rubbing


And even some busking
