We got the best and worst of BBC today.
Two women acting like overexcited teenagers, taking photos during the announcement should be punished. Not everything is a selfie moment. They knew they were in vision and I am sure there were some rules and instructions about how staff behaves during this coverage.
Yalda, who is one of my favorites, really blew it with that tweet. Did she think it was up to her to announce the news, even if it was true at that moment? Hopefully she's not downgraded cause of this.
Huw Edwards, once again, showing why he is the Nation's Broadcaster. Always in command, always aware of the moment. Great delivery during both announcements. It felt surreal watching him utter the words, after hours of waiting and dealing with very little information. He looked quite exhausted by the end of it and there's so much more coverage to come.
Nicholas Witchell also great, as expected from a veteran and Royal expert. He gets trashed on Twitter cause he speaks the truth about Meghan.
Clive Myrie again proving himself as the future of BBC News. Seems to be very emotional as well, giving a human touch to this sad news.
Finally, even though I'm not from the UK, I feel so sad and emotional about today's historic news. It's an end of an era, not just for UK but the whole world and international affairs. RIP Queen
