| Performance Notes | On 30 July 2003, the 109th Season of the BBC Proms celebrated the Queen's Golden Jubilee with a Prom. This was only the second visit to a Prom concert by The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. Prommers, gathered in the arena, shouted out a hearty Latin welcome as the Queen arrived, which she had received on her coronation. They yelled "Arena To Regina - Vivat, Vivat, Vivat" - which calls for long life for the Queen. The Royal couple were then treated to a special Proms evening of sounds and songs from 1953. During the interval they went down to the arena to meet some members of the crowd.
