Another rare appearance of Sir Trevor in the blue set, on the day of Diana’s funeral. I’m a tad surprised they didn’t use the NaT set for this bulletin or the studio they hosted the funeral itself from youtu.be 

I can't say for certain but at that time, both News at Ten and Channel 4 News shared a studio. It wasn't until 1999 that Channel 4 News relocated to the atrium. Just a guess but if Channel 4 were broadcasting, the News at Ten set wouldn't have been available. Also, both basement studios were, at that time, controlled by PCR1 so both Studios 1 and 2 couldn't be on air at the same time. PCR2 was the gallery used for Studio 4 alongside the atrium where Trevor is presenting from there.

Can anyone say whether the current look for ITV News which launched in January 2013, is this look now officially the longest look ITV News have used in their history?

Over a decade old now in 2023 with no sign that any revamp or change will happen.

Well, it's certainly the longest branding since the 'ITV News' name was adopted. But, the ITN News at 5.45 had the same branding from 1976 until 1988 so that ran for 12 years. And I guess you could say the Weekend News branding used prior to 1987 lasted a long time. Then again, it was only an ITN NEWS logo and a very simple studio set-up. And the title music was refreshed in June 1982 when they finally dropped Non-Stop.

So, let's say it's getting up there....
