Won’t happen I’m afraid. This is going to be one of the biggest days in the BBC’s history as they will also be broadcasting the news to the world. The death of the monarch is also a very news heavy event, far more so than the death of a consort, because there is immediately a new monarch who will be able proclaimed and then will address the nation etc. So the simulcasting will probably go on longer than ‘last time’
