A bit of a surprise to see Paul Brand anchor the News at Ten on a big setpiece day of news like today. 

It is quite imaginable that the main three anchors are all unavailable (Julie was on this morning, Rageh presumably having to focus on his international affairs brief, not sure about Tom), and with it being a politics/policy dominated news day, Paul was a good though surprising option to be called upon.

There was also the George Alagiah memorial service today which some from ITV News may have attended if they’d crossed paths at some stage in their career
