Prince Philip Death Announcement - BBC One April 9th 2021

This is how the BBC broke the news of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh to viewers in the UK. Programming was interrupted by a black screen and a "News Report". Presenter Martine Croxall said: "We are interrupting our normal programmes to bring you an important announcement. A short while ago Buckingham Palace announced the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh." The national anthem was played as a sign of respect.
Interrupted programme (at least on BBC One England) was "Paramedics on Scene".

Perhaps nerves won't have helped the emotions either with the realisation that, as the on-duty news reader on the BBC News Channel at the time, that it was she who would be fronting Operation Forth Bridge (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_and_funeral_of_Prince_Philip,_Duke_of_Edinburgh ) and that after having re-read the Buckingham Palace Statement she had nothing else to say but had all BBC TV viewers at the time watching. Presumably at the end of the clip the AutoCue finally kicked in with the pre-prepared script which will have been ready to go for years and off she went.

[@MrDannyDetail]

I'm fairly sure she is a stand-in journalist who just happened to be holding the fort on BBC News for a few hours that morning at the time the news broke, rather than a senior newsreader who would have rehearsed such an event. The poor lady does seem rather terrified to be breaking such important news, but this is probably the single most important broadcast she has ever done. I did notice they brought in Huw Edwards to take over in under an hour, (although he was inexplicably replaced with Rita Chakrabati for one hour during the afternoon (possibly to give him the supper break that working time regulations entitles him to)), but I'm guessing he had been on late shift duties this week, as he did, at least initially, look like he hadn't had enough sleep.

[@mattcherry276]

@@MrDannyDetail She is actually very much a regular on the BBC News Channel at all times if day and night. But, yes they did bring in the big guns pretty quickly. Don't think Huw Edwards normally does Fridays so he was probably at home and certainly deserved an hour off in the middle of an otherwise ten hour live broadcast for which he'd had no preparation time!
