According to observers, at a Proms performance, American tourists eating 'noisy' popcorn caused a 'near fight.' On Monday, the altercation took place during Dialogues des Carmélites by Francis Poulenc at the Royal Albert Hall (pictured) when the tourists began munching on popcorn. Jessica Duchen, a classical music critic and novelist, told The Times: 'A pair of American tourists munching on popcorn at the end of the row.' I couldn't hear or smell it, but there was a man behind them who was unashamed to them.' They might have a knife on them,' he said.' According to the hotel, the American tourists and the man were moved away from each other during the interval.
