Queen Elizabeth II Spends the Day with ITN - Raw Footage (2001)

[@fusionsuper]

The ITV News presenters back in the 1990's were in a different world back then. The way they researched and presented the stories on air was second to none. The current era has not and never will match the standards that were set in the 1990's and early 2000's. The footage just looks so clean and crisp as well.

Also, bear in mind, there was no competition from social media

[@VirgoCatleesi]

That visit wasn't the 90s, though. The news being covered during the late Queen and Duke of Edinburgh's visit was the war in Afghanistan/search for Osama bin Laden (post-September 11, 2001).

Watching this from India and remembering Queen Elizabeth and her smile and connection of humanity yes RIP Your Majesty The Queen 🙏👑🇮🇳🇬🇧 ,God Save The King 👑🤴

[@paulec2634]

She actually said to Trevor McDonald "it's so exciting". The reaction many of us would have if visiting ITN. Such a sincere and genuine woman, really interested in the places we went around Britain, the people she met and what they did and why it was important. She knew how to dress for every occasion and she knew how to make everyone she spoke to feel important and valued. God rest Her Majesty the Queen.

[@alexandradane3672]

I would have thought more interesting than exciting , to visit some news studio ? Hence , one can only assume that the late Queen was seeking to show polite enthusiasm and not a lack of intelligent conversation ?

[@paulec2634]

@@alexandradane3672 Oh, a pedant. Well done to you. As a supporter of Her Majesty The Queen God Rest Her, I I do not seek to second-guess what she says. How would you know what she finds exciting? I would find it exciting; you don't. You pick at her words and imply she had a lack of intelligence, you must be a Republican.

[@moshodi100]

When news was news still. Serious news anchors and journalists. How times have changed.

[@mkoury83]

Quite. So much so it is unimaginable that HMTQ would ever turn up at any major news organization today. It would be an insult to even suggest such a visit.

I Miss her voice such a loss but what a life she lived. rest in peace

[@mkoury83]

I have no doubt HMTQ chose well ahead of this engagement that she would appear in head-to-toe green screen green. I'm sure all wrote it off as a funny coincidence, entirely unaware that when it comes to on-point and painstaking (practically forensic) wardrobe choices, no one can match the Queen's mastery in the art of the subtle nod of the unexpected & haute coture perfection.

[@HalfbrickVHS]

Great piece of footage. The calibre of newsreaders ITN still had back then was exceptional. The only one left now is Mary Nightingale.

[@dameinnoble3995]

Miss our Queen and her Prince.

I really miss them both.

[@williamhicken1206]

Me too.

[@josephd.2725]

It's so fitting that HM Queen is greeted and ushered by ITN royalty, Sir Trevor McDonald... ITN legend! His voice is so rich and commanding. And I might also say that Mary Nightingale is the most beautiful newscaster ever, even in the 2020s. As well there, we see a baby faced Tom Bradby, nowadays the lead newscaster.

[@stephenscott6639]

22 years ago and apart from a different hairstyle Mary Nightingale hasn’t aged at all!

[@josephd.2725]

Mary Nightingale is simply a stunning beauty... I used to fancy her in my late teens in the mid 90s, around when she was presenting sports and stuff. Then I emigrated from the UK... 2 decades later visited home and saw her presenting the news looking as beautiful as ever. It was great to see her looking so well and still so attractive. She also has such a warmth about her presence and the way she delivers the news.

[@josephd.2725]

That place is full on! Imagine how much HM Queen and her husband would have seen throughout their lives and careers, and still The Queen looked genuinely intimidated and overwhelmed inside the ITN headquarters. It's all so incredibly impressive, the constant hard work and technology it takes to produce the daily news. The irony is that all staff must have been nervous while attending to Her Majesty, and at the same time she must have been nervous and overwhelmed by the whole establishment.

[@tradingdad5464]

I miss her. I'm a Mexican from the US. God Bless the Queen!

0:48 - The Queen enters Studio 4 at ITN - This was the studio used for ITN News bulletins from 1995 to 1999 and was based in the heart of the ITN newsroom. In 2004 it was revamped to become the home of London Today/Tonight. In 2012 it was decommissioned and converted back into office/newsroom space.

[@johnking5174]

3:52 - This is the basement of ITN, and houses two studios, Studio 1 and 2. Both are still in use today as of 2024. In 2001 their green screen studio was based in Studio 2, with the main ITV News set in Studio 1. This would be reversed in the 2004 relaunch of ITV News and today the main ITV News and ITV London News sets are in Studio 1. Studio 2 is used by Channel 5 for their news and the Jeremy Vine morning show.
