I am sure that many of you will have tuned in on Saturday 13th September to see local celebrity Roddy Williams sing some magnificent numbers in the Last Night of the Proms 2014. His final number ‘Rule Britannia’ raised the roof at the Royal Albert Hall and could probably be heard for miles at the various ‘Proms in the Park’ venues.I loved the performances in what seems to me to be a very ‘British’ affair and it was one of those times (like during the London Olympics) that I was reminded of why I am proud to be British. We discussed national identity at Church in the pub the following night and a number of us tended to think of ourselves as British first and English second. A similar sentiment was echoed by some in the Scottish referendum who said they were proud of their Scottish heritage, but also proud of being British.
