“This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.” Leonard Bernstein.

Before the Schubert concert I sang in tonight this quote was read out in memory of those who died and were injured in Paris.

Not exactly rousing is it? Land of Hope and Glory or Rule Britannia might go down better.

I don't watch football but I did watch the beginning of the England/ France friendly as I knew it would be an emotional event. Both sides sang the Marseillese after our Anthem had been sung. Even Prince William joined in. ( now wearing specs). It was very moving and I got quite tearful. Not watching the rest of it.
Sorry to digress

We hoped that the result would be a draw

I did too. Expect the French team were glad to get home.
