Last Night of the Proms

Ruth and I went to Proms in the Park at Hyde Park in london to celebrate the last night of the proms. Ruth's friends from home (in the Lake District) Alex and Helen were there, as was Doug, although he seems to have avoided my camera pretty effectively!

	Ruth enjoying the sunshine.
	Soulfish warm us up...
	Ruth, Helen and Alex enjoying our picnic in the park, very civilised.
	Who says the BBC don't advertise!
	Sun setting over Hyde Park. This must be one of Londons more natural views of the sunset!
	The stage.
	Ruth and Helen enjoying glasses of wine.
	As night falls the stage looks even more spectcular...
	...but the picnic (the wine part at least) is still going on!
	The light towers look like alien spaceships.
	Alex and Ruth do the can-can with wine and cookies.
	Big crowd.
	As the evening progresses there is more flag waving, and even an attempt to project a flag into the sky.
	Someone taking patriotism a little too far?
	Lights illuminating the London sky for miles around.
	Union flags and George crosses dominate. Doug and I will have saltires next year.
	Fireworks at the end of the concert.
	Ruth still feeling patriotic on the train.
