Belatedly, happy Canada Day

On Saturday night we went to Proms in the Paddock in Lewes. Amidst all the waving flags of St George and the Union, an understated little Canadian flag, planted by Mrs Toque, stood proud.

The biggest round of applause of the night, apart from the fireworks, went to Jerusalem, but I think Land of Hope and Glory was sung with more gusto, admittedly to the flapping of Union flags rather than English ones. Gordon would have been chuffed.

Lewes Dancing Man was upfront, and for most of the night had a big posse of kids mimicking his every move.
