I did,It was great,I would love to have been a promenader,I think the American conductor did a ' sterling' job, I have noticed that there is more people in the park year after year, It is getting more and more popular. 
I was in Hyde Park with a group of friends it was fab.
The atmosphere In Hyde park looked terrific.
I agree about the conductor Mary.
and
myopic, it must have great to be a part of it as you were. The crowd looked enormous.

He did do a good job, we thought his speech was a bit too long, but he seems a nice bloke. There were 38,000 in the park its just a magic day out.
I usually stay at Sussex Gardens when In London,very near Hyde Park,might try and make it there next year,I would love to be part of it.
I enjoyed what I saw (apart from that Chris DeBore one) Nice to see a bit of pride in our flag and flags of other nations.
Indeed Joe.
I thought it was quite touching to see flags of other nations being waved together, yet all being united.
David Robertson mentioned a similar theme in his speech - how instruments can be so different and diverse and from different parts of the world, and yet can come together in harmony.
Sickly patriotism can make me squirm, but the joy of many different nations together last night made me tingle.
