The BBC still haven't reported it. They're now on the weather with Dateline London coming up.


The BBC are just playing a game now, not even the News website has the story

TVMan
They are most likely going to announce it after Dateline London finishes at 14:00

Or waiting until an hour has passed as they are an hour ahead.

First BBC tweet?


EDIT: Radio 4 deleted the tweet, obviously got told to do it as BBC Breaking must have wanted to be first to report it...

I think that BBC Correspondent Joe Lynam was one of the first to break the news

Dateline London has ended now, so they may report it at the top of the hour. Nothing on the ticker during the programme if anyone is wondering.

I recall the BBC taking ages to announce the death of Christopher Lee when it was plastered all over the internet.
