That’s right. Bearing in mind this was still within the first few weeks of its use, Ballet was still in general rotation.
Obviously its usage within coverage of the death of the Queen Mother a few weeks before added greater impact to the ident. But it wasn’t until a few weeks/months later that it was decided that it should solely be reserved for use in sombre situations only.
