Non-Believer Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 IIRC, it was little different when the Queen Mother died, 2002? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Just now, Non-Believer said: IIRC, it was little different when the Queen Mother died, 2002? That's what I don't understand. It was generally agreed that the BBC went over the top then and they just seem to have repeated themselves regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 BBC and other broadcasters and media organisations have a detailed prepared plan that goes into effect the minute something 'of national importance' happens, like royal deaths. It would be a sackable offence to play certain songs whilst those protocols are in place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 A couple of years before she died, there was a celebratory stamp issue in a number of countries for the Queen Mother (perhaps it was her 90th birthday). Someone asked what happens if she died between production and issue a the plan was to run them through the printing presses again to give them a black border. Nothing if not pragmatic.

thommo2010 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm not what you would call a royalist but the guy served his country for the best part of 100 years,boo hoo the radio are reporting on it and the BBC might have different programmes on for a day. There's literally hundreds of other channels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
