THOUSANDS of music fans celebrated the 11th year of the Great British Proms Spectacular at Castle Howard on Saturday.
About 8,000 people enjoyed picnics on the lawns of the stately home as they watched the world-renowned English National Orchestra, led by conductor Jae Alexander.
Star performances from the classical group Amore, Only Men Aloud, tenor soloist John Hudson and soprano Janet Mooney presented popular arias and all the favourites associated with The Last Night of the Proms.
Once again, the event’s usual flyover by a Spitfire wowed the crowd as did the culmination of the nights celebrations with thousands of fireworks lighting up the skies above Ryedale.
