The longest queue I've ever seen!

Check this out








And it goes on...

And on...




And on...

Nope, it wasn't a Rock concert or some special exhibition... it was the proms!

This queue was waay longer than the one at the Louvre! Although you can't see properly how long it stretches, it took two streets!



The BBC Proms is a classical music concert performed at the Royal Albert Hall during the summer. If one had asked me a couple of years ago if I would go to this I would have probably laughed! But right now I found myself queueing for quite a while to get in!
Tickets range form about 50 pounds to 5 pounds (standing) and of course, loads of people stood for about 2 hours!!!
I did stand (being my first time and all) and it was worth it.
Heard some queued from 12pm for a concert that was to start at 7pm!
I asked if it was British culture to like classical music but apparently it's not, people just do!

What is it about sounds without words that people like?
I guess when I say people I should speak for myself and other classical music lovers lol! I doubt many people my age can even stand it!
Well... It's a very emotional kind of music, it is relaxing, it's refreshing! I love it!
