I think the last time we had one in the UK (in August 1999), BBC1 was the only one of the 5 main channels to do national coverage! (I know Westcountry did their own coverage in the South West, the only ITV region to do so)
I remember Channel 5 doing special coverage as well as BBC1. Not sure how long their programme was, but I remember Kirsty Young having to quickly relocate indoors when it started raining - it featured in a documentary later.
ITN did live updates on the rest of the ITV network.
