Synopsis
Sir Terry Wogan presents BBC Proms in the Park, live from London's Hyde Park, before an enthusiatic audience of 40,000 revellers. The BBC Concert Orchestra is conducted by Martin Yates in a selection of popular classics.
This year's special guests include Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, who introduces to the stage the winner of BBC Radio 2's Kiri Prize - the culmination of a nationwide search for an opera star for the future.
Jose Carreras makes a welcome return to Hyde Park - it is his third visit to BBC Proms in the Park. He will join his friend Dame Kiri in duet and song. West End and Broadway star Kerry Ellis and Queen guitarist Brian May perform music from their latest collaboration - Anthem - and song writing genius Neil Sedaka closes the show with songs from a career spanning five decades.
Finally, Gareth Malone is on hand to conduct the Hyde Park crowd in the nation's biggest singalong and the Last Night of the Proms Finale.
