Synopsis
Music icon Barry Manilow performs live at BBC Proms in the Park - the annual extravaganza held in London's Hyde Park that allows music lovers to enjoy the magic and majesty of the much-loved Last Night of the Proms.
He joins a star-studded line-up that includes the award-winning mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins, who's performing at the Proms in the Park concert for the very first time. The event also sees performances from acclaimed Icelandic tenor sensation Garðar Thór Cortes; the string quartet Escala; and the BBC Concert Orchestra, under the baton of Martin Yates.
It culminates in a live video link-up with the Royal Albert Hall and a nationwide sing-along to traditional favourites including Jerusalem and Rule Britannia, with the help of the Royal Choral Society. As ever, crowds are encouraged to bring picnics and flags, to sing along and enjoy the music and fireworks.
