Nice. The logo model will have been created for some of the previous ITV Creates idents. It's similar to the first one but without footage being projected onto it.

TF1 scheduled a trashy doc about Meghan and Harry after the funeral finished.

ITV went straight back to using their normal idents after the coverage. Odd choice - would have thought they would use the sombre ident just to introduce Tipping Point then back to regular idents later on.

Agreed. Especially as it went straight from the grey ITV News end to the ident. Wouldn’t have been so jarring but the current ITV set are pretty odd.

BBC coverage felt somewhat rushed off air too - even pushing back the football half an hour would have made a huge difference.

Surely the BBC's 497K has got to be a record for a YouTube livestream of a news event - I've never seen a number as large as that.

In fact, the viewing figures for that stream were larger than the average viewing figures for GMB a week after it launched.

It's very rare for the BBC to broadcast anything live on YouTube, isn't it?

Yes, they must only do it for royal events.

That is utterly disrespectful

I am back after watching the entire funeral coverage on ITV, and I have to say that HRH The Duke of Edinburgh would have been very pleased with everything. May he RIP

At one stage the BBC stream had 700k viewers.
