The bit that surprised me on the day was how quickly the BBC got a satellite truck to the gates of Balmoral - I think they have a truck based in Aberdeen, but it's over an hour's drive away.not knowing what the mobile coverage is like in the area - could they have used one of those 4G/5G units instead of or until the sat truck turned up? are any of the news orgs doing anything with starlink and other easy-to use LEO systems? seems like the textbook use case.
(I did hear a rumour in the dim and distant past that they kept a flyaway dish in a shed in Crathie in preparation for the Queen Mum dying, but doubt that's been the case for a long time)
