Interesting to see that the News Channel opt-out for the Sir Bobby Charlton funeral procession coverage appeared to be a Salford/sport production, hosted by Olly Foster onsite, then Jane Dougall at MediaCity. There was even name captions in the sport news graphics for a few interviews before the procession began.
And, although not always the case, there was clean and smooth opt out of the News at One at 13:17 (the globe sting faded in at the end of Tom Bateman's report from Israel) and at the end (Jane handing over to Rajini Vaidyanathan in Downing Street at 14:05). The BSL interpeter stayed on screen until 13:30-ish as would be normal, and didn't either stay to the end of the broadcast or leave at its beginning.
