Neighbours have gone away...so me and Mrs RM...turned the surround sound gizmo on...turned it up to 'rocking' levels and sat and sung our hearts out.....great night the best its been for a long time......great summer of sport......UK and London showed what we can do when we put our minds to it and work together.......what a pity its all coming to an end, but what a way to finish it last night!!!
I don't mind admitting that I had a few tears in my eyes as I was singing away to Land of Hope and Glory and Jerusalem.It has been a very long hard and emotional week for my Wife and I.With problems with my daughter and her boyfriend and news that my Wife's best friend has died.But I feel very proud in what this Green and pleasant Land has done this Summer,we should feel rightly proud of Britain and the people in it.
Totally agree with all the above, thought they got last night right. Great to be British at the moment, shame this great summer of sport and pageantry has to end, thought it been magnificent.
Sky Atlantic are showing a series called The British which is pretty good.
I thought it was visually pretty good, not sure about the accuracy of some of the history - I guess it's kind of somewhere between a drama and a documentary.
Green an pleasant land, walk upon England's mountains green. I am proud to be a Man Of Kent, an English . Being British means nothing anymore, pop into the UK for the day an your British .
Went to LNOTP. My son got two brilliant seats right by the stage. Spent most of the concert in/close to tears. Wonderful music superbly performed in a unique setting - what's not to get emotional about ....
It always looks great on the tv but I can truly say that actually being there was x 10. Fabulous.
Fabulous time to be British. Just popping down to the parade. Bet those bastards wish they had given us the World Cup now.
Absolutely - we've proved that we can put on a good show. Am I right in thinking that Brazil have got the World Cup, followed by the Olympics or did I dream that?

Has anybody been keeping up with the British ? I think it's been pretty disappointing and really should have been called "The English"
I have just stopped recording it. Could have een a really good historical review but the voice over is like a cheap satellite channels, same with Andrew Marrs History of the world. Never thought British / World history could be made to sound boring
Both Marr and Paxman keep recycling the same material for 'different' TV programmes. Trying to make History sexy and spectacular instead of the reality for the average 'Brit', a life of toil and drudgery. These programmes, like Stephanie Flanders' series on economics, would be better on Radio 4

What a way to finish the summer.
Land of Hope and Glory and the pictures of the crowds in the park was amazing.
