Also, no elephants with knives attached to their legs

Spotted at the bottom of a poster for the Last Night of the Proms in Hyde Park:

"In the interests of safety, please do not bring glass items, barbeques or flaming torches."

Flaming torches? I know that Chico and Will Young were performing, but surely nobody was going to organise a mob of angry villagers to attack them?

When was the last time anyone went to an event with a flaming torch? It seems like common sense to me. I'm surprised they didn't add: "Also, no broadswords, Gatling guns or anthrax".
