Yes it was


Is one of the guest Tom Bradby? Camera was on him a few times.


Yes - Tom is known to be well liked by William and Harry. He was ITV News's Royal Correspondent for a number of years.


I knew he was friends and got the scoop with Prince William and then Kate’s first interview. But with his insomnia I wasn’t sure.
Also will BBC One provide opts to the regions outside of the ceremony portion?

No, there's no need. There's no regional news on Breakfast at the weekends, and BBC One daytime doesn't do anything regional except for the local news after the national scheduled bulletins (usually lunchtime, teatime and late). The wedding programme goes out complete to all BBC One viewers across the UK.

Elsewhere in the schedule, there are some differences for sport in the nations, but that all happens later in the day today.

PS - thanks for the screencaps earlier. The NBC backdrop is stunning, and still looks great in the background on tight presenter shots. MSNBC also appears to have secured good vantage points. The CNN 3-way split screen approach isn't really doing anything for me.


Thanks about the ops. The PQ on the walls back at 30 Rock are so detailed I’m thinking there’s a 4K camera or two just sending back the view.

NBC are captioning the location as London!


They are saying Windsor on air. Yet the MSNBC caption is Windsor.

Meredith Vieira is a guest on the BBC coverage. I'm guessing PBS is taking the BBC coverage then.

Martin Stanford working as an usher today at the wedding. He's a vice-governor at St. George's School, Windsor Castle.
Woodpecker, scottishtv and Markymark gave kudos

Found the ebu feed Fi01GBBC at 7e again encrypted usually a id which shows a world feed.

Fi is shorthand for FiNE input, referring to the EBU's Fibre network. It's probably GBBBC - EBU operations codes are country code then (abbreviated) broadcaster name.

Yes. Meredith was over in the UK presenting 'Royal Wedding Watch' (made by BBC Studios for PBS) - and I think she mentioned it at the end of the show last night.

PBS are promoting that they are taking the main BBC One feed with BBC anchors.

It is indeed. Announced as uninterrupted at the start of the broadcast.

My mother and I are watching the coverage of the wedding on BBC One HD today. We think the coverage of this event has been excellent so far. The pictures from inside & outside the chapel & the views when Megan's car was driven up along the long walk looked incredible. Megan dress's looks stunning. The priest's vestments looks great in HD. The priest's vestments probably looks even more brilliant in UHD if you had a look at Sky Q's picture of the events. The Archbishop of Canterbury is wearing gold vestments for this wedding. How does look in UHD?

I have only seen my first lower third graphics on BBC One just now. They look nice in the light blue. Are they using the Reith typeface?

TF1 France are using their standard news lower thirds during the ceremony.
