I don't usually watch the first half but I watched the whole thing this year. I thought it was magnificent, even Bill Bailey playing Leroy Anderson's typewriter thingie. Y'all know what an ardent leftie I am, but I'll defend Rule Britannia to the hilt. Compared to the horrors being perpetrated by 100,000 fascist sympathisers in London's streets on the same day, aided and abetted by the disgusting Elon Musk, Rule Britannia is a fun-filled walk in the park which no-one takes seriously (I mean, just read the lyrics!). And I thought that Bohemian Rhapsody was superb, loving homage to Freddie.

It's not a pop festival or a folk festival, but what a festival it is. Well done Beeb. In the words of my hero Carly, nobody does it better!
