www.sky.com/news says Huntley gets two life sentences, Maxine Carr sentenced to 3 and a half years, of which she'll serve half.

Is this from the copter? Bit insensitive to people in Soham to fly a noisy copter over the town on a day like today

Yep. They only used that shot for about 20 seconds too.

Amusing antics with the BBC News umbrella in the background of Harry Smith's live on ITV News

Eventually they got the BBC URL perfectly positioned by Harry's shoulder

I see the ITV News have seemingly removed the local news from the bulletin.

And if I see that blasted vicar on TV again, i'll scream.

How were the details of sentence and verdict being relayed to the BBC correspondent outside the court? It seemed incredibly quick and fairly slick.

I was impressed.

Robotic Rachel explained that right underneath the courtroom there was another room in which journalists could hear everything going on in the courtroom above. Presumably because they weren't actually in the courtroom of the trial, they were able to relay events to outside the court from this room.

I believe it's been pushed back until twenty past one.

There's a statement being made live at the moment although BBC1 don't seem to be carrying it, they are now showing a recording of it about 3 minutes late!
