|Strong audience figures at 2009 Proms
It was revealed that attendance figures have been particularly strong among young people, with a 32 per cent increase in the number of audience members under the age of 16.
An 11 per cent rise was recorded in the number of people buying tickets for the first time, while overall attendance figures climbed by five per cent.
Roger Wright, director of the event, said: "The 2009 BBC Proms has seen two months of outstanding and inspiring music-making, featuring leading musicians and orchestras from the UK and abroad.
"The BBC's commitment to the Proms remains vital and it is heartening to see again the strong appreciation of Proms audiences, not least in their curiosity for new and unfamiliar music."
Kensington hotel guests will be heading to the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow (September 12th) to attend the final performance in this year's Proms season.
The concert will feature renditions of pieces including Rule Britannia, Jerusalem, Pomp and Circumstance and the National Anthem.
