Has anyone captured the weather sting on ITV?

This one?

The very one. Thank you. don’t know if they used it for Prince Phillip

Just checked my archive it’s the same slide but with an ITV logo.

I can't remember whether or not someone has posted anything about this, but it seems ITN have put together a rather nice set (probably for the C4 funeral coverage), which was used by the Andrew Neil Show on Monday evening.

It's not a redressed Studio 6 (C4 News), which Neil normally uses, so I'm not sure where it is in GIR, unless they've rented something from elsewhere.

Jennie Bond is on Lorraine right now, and mentioned that she was giving a lecture on a cruise ship when the Queen died - which would explain why such an obvious choice of commentator didn't feature prominently in the immediate coverage.

It’s surprising to me that four days to go we still don’t know whether Channel 4 and 5 will show the funeral or whether BBC will simulcast on channels other than One and NC

I was wondering about that image of the Queen, BBC has been using for all the intros and screens, when was it taken?

It was actually a painting, by Richard Stone. 

There was an interview with him on the news channel this morning, some more details in this article:

Didn't realise until seeing this that the picture the BBC's been using is a painting, it's so detailed I assumed it was a photo:

Took 3 years to paint apparently, which is remarkable.

BTW are you also going to upload Capital Radio and BBC Radio coverage as well? What you're doing is amazing!

I've not been able to retrieve anything from Capital apart from Anglesey and Gwynedd. As for BBC, I'll see what I can do but I can't make any guarantees.

Radio Today has some clips of stations going into OBIT mode, including various BBC and Global services

Funny you mention that. I actually worked alongside them to produce this:

Thanks for this. I really don’t like the general commercial radio approach of breaking the news then quickly launching into a tirade of trivia relating to the Queen’s life. The listener really needs time for the news to sink in, which is why the tradition of playing the national anthem is not only symbolic but a very useful device to let the news sink in.

[James2001]

I don't think Channel 4 or 5 played the national anthem, unless I'm mistaken?

From the clip I saw Channel 4 didn’t. Don’t know about Channel 5.

To be honest it would be very off brand for Channel 4 to show it, but again it makes their coverage of the moment less impressive.
