BBC World is having its own coverage fronted by Jon Sopel. I thought they were just gonna simulcast One.

Seems like a total waste of resources to be honest.

At 11am, just as the service is commencing, ITV cut to 'The Hub' and are now doing the Crime File.

The BBC & Sky News are covering it in full dear, as announced last week.

People who want to know about the smaller than expected protests will watch the news later.

Good to see Anna Botting back, even if she is a little bit rusty!

I'm not sure if it made it on air, but shortly after the service, a Slough street sweeper van did the rounds of the forecourt of St Paul's.

Viewers in the US and Canada were able to get their early-morning fix of Bio-Dimbleby on C-SPAN and CPAC, both of which showed the BBC One programme live. I believe they were the only overseas broadcasters to do so.

Charlie Stayt at St Paul's for Breakfast


Watching back the coverage via Sky Plus, did anyone notice Charlie appear on the NC for about 10 secs by mistake?

Why didnt the Breakfast prog run through to 915 on One & the NC?

It wouldve saved money.

Breakfast still had some guests on until 9.15, with them having nothing to do with the funeral.
