the last concert of the Proms, a series of concerts held each summer in the Royal Albert Hall in London. The second part of the concert always consists of the same tunes and songs, and the people who go to the concert join in with the singing. Some of them wear silly hats and have their faces painted. The concert ends with the patriotic song Land of Hope and Glory, and many people sing it while waving Union Jacks (=British national flags).
