Yes looks like there was a brief loss of feed:

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:

@Roger Darthwell I've just had a chance to review what I can catch on BBC Sounds. I won't be able to cover the national stations as they seem to be missing the shows from just before the announcement. However, I might be able to cover BBC Radio Cymru & Radio nan Gàidheal, along with two of the local radio stations nearest to me (Derby & Sheffield).

There's a new countdown with today's scenes from Westminster Hall and the somber music.

Are they all 'teaming up' and working together, are the BBC coordinating it all - it must be a bit of a logistical nightmare.
Would be interesting to know.
Yes, the coverage has been pooled with the BBC, ITN and Sky providing the facilities and sharing the footage which of course is also sent out to other broadcasters around the world. Logistically it's not that difficult, the plans for the coverage have been ready for many years so the agreements as to who does what are long standing. It's not just a case of having coverage of X provided by Sky and coverage of Y provided by the BBC, in some cases a camera shot might be provided by operators employed by two broadcasters - the walkabout of the King on Friday was an ITN provided camera but crewed by someone from ITN and the BBC
Technically the three have circuits between them and of course those feeds provided by satellite can just be downlinked by all three.
It's fairly common practise, albeit not before on this scale.

I notice that the regions have all made their own HM Queen based opening titles, a lot of work considering many of the images used are fairly general rather than being region specific
Most but not all using the slow version of the regions theme
Look North in EY and in NE&C had Queen images but the normal theme, the NE one being of a particular local feel including when she opened the Tyne and Wear Metro
Look North in Yorkshire had the usual opening titles but the slow theme
Midlands Today and North West Tonight had neither special opening titles nor different music
Also South East Today was merged with South Today tonight
These observations were from today some of the regions who didn’t do anything tonight may have done earlier in the mourning period

That's not gone down well looking at the comments. Seems that the match was rearranged for the TV coverage, and these are semi-pro teams who have had to rearrange work schedules/lose pay to be available to play on Friday.
Obviously televising a game from a non-league ground is more of a challenge than to do so from a ground that they do every week with a semi permanent rig, but if the OB provider has pulled out surely BBC Scotland could cobble a "better than nothing" version together in house? Single camera on the halfway line and a feed of Radio Scotland commentary via a RepScot SNG for example.
