They could have used Sissons instead.
I mean, a nice cheery event like a wedding. He could have worn a red tie!

She was heavily involed in presenting the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2002 (with Dimbleby), so I'm not surprised she's been given the job. Good luck to her.

This morning's Times says that Sophie Rayworth will be doing the commentary on the blessing.
Surprising, isn't it? Would've expected Dimbleby, personally.

Fiona Bruce did the commentary of Prince Edward's Wedding at St George's Windsor in 1999 and Sian Williams presented the Weekend News on that day too.

Although the BBC add extra cameras inside the Commons and Lords and provide coverage of the ceremony outside Parliament, the actual speech and main coverage inside Parliament is not done by the BBC. There is a separate company that provides all television coverage from Parliament. It's this feed that you see on Prime Minister's Question Time and on BBC Parliament.

Yes, the BBC do the actual filming, but they make it available to all other broadcasters wanting the feed - like the queens speech

Oops, I meant the Christmas Speech, which I believe is filmed by ITN and the BBC alternatly every year?

To be pedantic, that's the Queen's Christmas Message .
It irritates me when even the news bulletins at Christmas go on about the 'Queen's Speech', which of course is something else altogether.
And I believe that Bow Tie TV is the company Jonathan H is referring to.
I guessed that the live pictures of the St George's Chapel blessing would be pooled, but I hadn't seen anything definitive on the subject - naturally most of the press coverage/comment on the news has focussed on the BBC.

"The service of prayer and dedication will be shown on television," a spokesman from Clarence House, Charles's official residence, said.
He said the BBC would provide pool footage for other networks.
