BBC One and Two will again transmit the celebrated Last Night of the Proms when the season comes to an end this Saturday, 8th September.
Hosted Alan Titchmarsh live from London’s Royal Albert Hall the night promises a rare performance of The Fourth Of August from The Spirit Of England, performed by tenor Andrew Kennedy.

BBC Symphony Orchestra Chief Conductor Jir� Bĕlohl�vek takes to the podium for the first time to direct the traditional Last Night festivities.
