I was at the Royal Albert Saturday not far from the Box. Prince Philip looked a bit tired but he bore up well. It was a awesome show. Poppy Girls were very good even though Megan was trembling with nerves. Nice touch when they surprised her by bringing her dad back from Afghanistan.
I agree with JK about "Nimrod". That piece of music always moves me.
