I would think that the UK would be the last bastion of Latin in the English-speaking world.
Meanwhile, in the Finnish-speaking world (such as it is), we have a weekly news radio broadcast in Latin. A quote from The Economist:
The Finnish Broadcasting Company (aka Radiophonia Finnica Generalis, or YLE) puts out a five-minute bulletin, “Nuntii Latini”, every week, and has done so for 14 years. The bulletins are broadcast worldwide, and are also collected and published as books. The conjunction of Latin with Finno-Ungaric makes for some bizarre listening and reading, as in
Anneli Jäätteenmäki, quae munere ministri primarii a mense Aprili functa est, a praesidente Tarja Halonen dimissionem petivit et accepit.

... yet another example of the Great Vowel Movement at work.
