Last Night of the Proms

[Smiffy]

I'm sure I remember about 10 years at the Last Night the guest soprano (?) singing Rule Brittannia .
As she went into the chorus she unfastened a button at the neck of her dress (which was a draped style) and revealed that she was wearing the Union Flag.
Can anyone else remember this, or am I going bonkers?

Yep, I remember it well- I thought it was brilliant!!!

I'm trying to find it on YouTube- Wasn't it a cloak and not a dress?

BOO - I found this quote
"Sarah Walker's Last Night of Proms dress - the moment when she pulled open a fold in her ivory dress to reveal a huge Union Jack. It spawned many imitations before steps were taken to make the Last Night a little less boisterous."
but I can't find a picture or clip.

Bugging the crap out of me now, lol. i remember it really well, and like you can't find a clip of it- how strange!
