I am a monarchist by any definition of the word but the medias coverage is a little over the top with BBC and ITV dedicating an entire evening to the news. There may be an argument for the BBC but not both main channels.

There isn't an argument for any non-news channel doing it in the era of 24 hour rolling news.
Insanity.
Suffering since 1978.

I knew he was a bubble just didn't know where he was born. Danish, Russian blood as well!!
I remember years ago talking to a Greek chap I worked with that I thought Philip was Greek and was assured he was as much Greek as the queen is English.

Yeah I was sad to see this news. He lived a very dark life. Imagine being forced to smoke crack as a 14 year old kid. Unimaginable circumstances for most of us fortunately.
RIP Dmx.

It's due to both being public service broadcasters so when a major royal dies we switch to rolling news. Been a fun day at work re doing the entire weekend schedules on my day off
Have a look at the stick Channel 4 are getting for returning to normal programming to see why BBC and iTV made that choice
