At the moment I'm watching the Last Night of the Proms broadcasted by the BBC.

What a wonderful event. A nation joined in songs. Beautiful ! Those Brits sure know how to stage these grand events. Chapeau !

Yes.

Chapeau ... originally a French word

My online English-Dutch (!) dictionairy says the following: [n] headdress that protects the head from bad weather; has shaped crown and usually a brim.

The BBC broadcasts a number of beatiful classical music performances under the name The Proms or the Summer Proms. Tonight they aired the làst night of the proms. It's one big musical party. Great !

This year's edition was the 100th or the 110th edition of the proms, i didn't get that clearly. ..... nóóóóó, Prad ... not all of them were broadcasted by the BBC ........ 😀
