Looking at the number of people gathered in the Newsroom behind Ben Brown just then it looks as though they've just had an update of some sort that requires urgent attention.

The BBC really need to get out of E as soon as possible if they don't want people speculating from the activity in the background. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Huw Edwards was being Mic'ed up for the announcement in B as I type.

Presumably if they really wanted to, they could move the cameras around so you can't see the newsroom?

Though that in itself would stir up speculation as well.

A slight slip-up when they first tried bringing up the BSL signer, using the CBeebies background.

Might have been the news that Princess Anne is already at Balmoral, and that both Prince Edward and Andrew are also on route. Sounds very ominous if all her children (and William) are travelling up there.

Huw Edwards now anchoring the coverage as expected.

Huw Edwards now appeared in black tie, if that isn't confirmation that she's either died or is about to, I don't know what is.

Surely that's a little bit over the top. There's not really anything more to report than the initial statement at the moment. Even after just over an hours coverage its already getting pretty tedious.

That depends on what the BBC know that we don't,  they won't have cleared the schedules and wheeled out Huw if it was nothing, presumably they're expecting the announcement to be imminent.
