British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s criticism of plans to perform traditional songs at the BBC Proms without lyrics was “irresponsible”, according to a composer who has worked on the Last Night.

The live music leg of the BBC Proms kicked off on Friday following days of controversy over the singing of Rule, Britannia! and Land Of Hope And Glory.
