Pope's Death

Didn't they do any National Anthems like when HM Queen Mother died?

Doesn't that clash with Charles and Camilla?

No, the wedding is on Friday 8th

No C&C is Friday

happy-clappy-wotsit: Where was the "King" or "Prince" in Pope Jean-Paul II?

I see BBC News 24 have got their sombre themes out with a rather loud and slightly bouncy bed pre-titles!

It's working out quite well.

Monday - Tone calls election.
Tuesday - Hospital appointment.
Wednesday - Pope's funeral.
Thursday - Day off.
Friday - Charlie's wedding.

Can't be bad!

Did anyone capture the special titles and music on News 24 just?

Maybe some US forumers can help me here, but am I the only one in thinking that US News programmes (particually Fox) have been amazingly insenitive?
Fox claiming that they broke the story made me laugh. The last thing they broke, was well.....
The graphic for Fox for two ways was well, morose. BBC World was a scambels cutting and breaking at all points.
Saying that I have found News 24 and BBC News in general to be very professional. My only conplaint would stem from this continual verbal repeating of a peice of news. Radio 2's approach to the incident was excellent, just a simply one hour programme with the Pope's life story and some tributes.
On another point is Sky still using "POPE DEAD"? Again the person who wrote this appears to lack anything resembling an English qualification, surly a smaller case with "Pope Dies" would have been more in-keeping.

The ITV news has been extended to half an hour.

BBC Three's 60 Second update at 23:10 didn't have the usual countdown timer in the top right, nor any of the usual flashy graphics, unsurprisingly.

I didn't have the foresight to see if it did last exactly 60 seconds as usual.

Has anyone got any videos as to how the news broke?
