Contrary to an earlier thread, BBC does NOT ban Rule Brittania from Last Night of the Proms. Archived Message Posted by Der on August 25, 2020, 7:35 am The issue was about coronavirus! Consequently, Rule Brittania will be played, not sung, for fear of a mass sing-along spraying the virus all over the place. Things will return to "normal", lyrics and all, once the virus has been eliminated. Other tunes will be sung by individual singers. Presumably, because they do not attract the same raucous sing-a-long con gusto of Rule Britannia. Brexiteers will, no doubt, be delighted.
