I thought the BBC's coverage has been totally superb for 10 days - they haven't put a single foot wrong. I especially loved the BBC montage at the end of coverage today, and the clever camera shots above the Horseguards parade arch and the Abbey overhead shot.

Some questions that I have that have been niggling me throughout the coverage:

1) It looked like most of the ceremonial coverage was pooled (same footage on BBC, ITV, Sky etc) - how was it agreed who would cover what? Did all the networks merge their staff into a kind of World Feed or would different networks take the lead on different events?

2) The BBC had a lying-in-state feed running 24/7 - would they have had human camera operators or fixed cameras? It seemed there was a lot of zooming in and out and switching of cameras - would there have been directors working around the clock? Sounds like quite a big operation!

3) Some of the ceremonial events, especially the processions, seemed to have literally hundreds of cameras following everything - how did they secure sufficient OB/camera resource in time?

4) Some of the camera shots looked extremely well rehearsed - for something like the Abbey today what opportunities would broadcasters have had to rehearse? Not with the King etc obviously, but the ceremonial aspects

Thanks anyone who can help!

They may have rehearsed the Abbey stuff late at night as in the daytime, tourists would notice. If they did do it in the daytime, it would have to have been a not too busy day – maybe even when it was closed?
