Message in the music

It seems there's nothing on the BBC that can't now be improved by the addition of a news presenter. Thus Huw Edwards and Katya Adler get to present two Proms each this season, with Clive "Guaglio" Myrie your host for the first night.  

Eventually, the Daily Express will note that Mr Edwards is introducing "the world famous hymn to unity", Beethoven's 9th Symphony.  Beethoven's theme has been adopted by the European Union as its Anthem since 1985 (prior to that, it was from 1972, the ceremonial theme for the Council of Europe).
