I've got to say the interview with Dickie Bird this morning was really quite moving, especially when he spoke about last speaking to Michael Parkinson earlier this week and saying their goodbyes. It was sensitively handled by Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

I also found that very moving.  He was clearly very upset but Charlie and Naga were very comforting. They just let him carry on as it seemed somewhat cathartic for him.  

As a result, the throw to the regions/nations was about 7 minutes late at 08:35. Very well handled by all concerned.
