Didn't the message go up again for 9/11?

The Queen Mother's death was done as a standalone programme rather than the News Channel (Peter Sissons in N6 rather News 24 in N
, although I guess the News Channel sharing its studio with some of the national bulletins changes things a bit.
Have they done an obit rehearsal at NBH yet?
The plans are very different now, as was seen when the Queen Mother died.

Yes, I'm sure they've changed many times since then. The main difference in terms of presentation is that the merged logo and announcements didn't happen for the Queen Mum
Wasn't the Peter Sissons bulletin shown on News 24 too?

I'm sure it would have been. My point was simply that it wasn't a case of BBC1 and BBC2 opting into News 24 for the QM although that might be how it's done now.

Wasn't UK Living operated by Flextech rather than UKTV?
The policy was that the 'Sky Multichannel' channels were all supposed to point towards Sky News the only exceptions I think were UK Living and UK Gold as they were connected to the BBC

UK living was start by Flextech, but in 1997 Flextech ( grabed nearly all the share for UK GOLD) after this there got into bed with BBC to create UKTV brand. it was decided that UK Living would remain a separate channel. As such, it had to remove the 'UK' branding to avoid being confused with the UKTV services; thus UK Living became Living.

The Queen Mother's death was a shambles considering the amount of preparation that had gone into it. Diana's sudden death was covered far better.
I would've thought that the death of the Queen will be treated as a standalone broadcast rather than a continuation of the rolling news service.

It was initially a Thames venture with the future owner of Flextech having a stake in it. Being the sister channel of UK Gold which was a Thames/BBC channel it's loyalties in such events lie with the BBC, hence in their obit procedures they pointed viewers to the BBC not Sky

It was a bit of a shambles all round, and not just the BBC. It was her fault though - dying on a 4 day holiday weekend.

If it had happened the week before it would have been introduced over a still of the balloon.... though that's probably preferable to the ballet dancers
It was on the weekend of the BBC One rebrand wasn't it? I think one of the complaints was that the still image of ballet dancers was not as appropriate as the clock which, had the relaunch been just one week later, would still have been in use
