We're likely to get another look at the ITV ident today (who knows, maybe they realized no one can see the logo), and the BBC altered the Family ident.

As for Two, they have a summary at 10 past 8, so i'd assume either the Family or HRH Prince Phillip idents?

That's weird. I know RedBee aren't involved in playing out BBC News but do they produce the trails? That might explain it.

Have any of the studios been used so far this morning? BBC and Sky were both presenting from outside when I was watching earlier.

I would expect to see the Sky studio from the start of their special program at 12:30/40 approximately.

They've resurrected the BBC News clamshell!

The sombre countdown is back on BBC news.

A sombre 28 second countdown into BBC News at 10am on News Channel. Includes more aerial footage of UK landmarks. Really lovely.

Goodness, quite striking to see every presenter dressed in black.

I'm glad to see that the BBC has shortened down its Prince Philip title sequence/montage to just a 2-3 pictures with the special music. Last week it was almost a minute long
