Audience members at the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms concert tomorrow will receive two European Union flags each in a bid “to turn the Proms blue and yellow”.

A campaign group called the EU Flags Proms Team said it would be handing out 10,000 cloth EU flags to the 6,000-strong audience outside the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow evening.

Earlier this summer the campaigners raised raise £4,000 to pay for the flags to give out to members of the audience at the concert, which will be broadcast live on BBC1.

The number of EU flags is twice as many as the campaigners handed out ahead of last year’s Last Night.

A spokesman for the campaign group said the flags would be handed out by volunteers wearing “thank EU for the Music” T-shirts.
