Can we talk about how well the kids channel (CBBC) handled this? While it really sad news, they managed to put a positive spin on it, turn it into a history lesson & celebration. Well done!
They will have thought that connecting directly to One would be more shocking For the children. So what better way to make the announcement than with a bit of history.
i was watching the BBC live from Florida, and my heart dropped when they cut from Buckingham Palace to Huw with a look of absolute heartbreak. i’m not ashamed to say i cried.
Get over it. The amount of people on this Earth that mourned her shows how much she was loved, appreciated and respected. No other public figure will ever be able to come close to her! I have to say it’s very sad and disheartening to see so many people talking trash about a woman that has devoted her whole life to the people of the Uk. She did it with grace, courage and compassion. But you and all the other hatters are just too busy spewing hate about her left and right without trying to understand at least what she had to go through every living day for 70 years.
As did I Alexander...I'd been watching the news most of the day and knew bad was probably coming, when all the children and family were rushed to Balmoral but when Huw Edwards finally announced it...I just broke down and sobbed out loud...
@@garethfreeman3436 agreed, this hit me hard even as an American. my mother grew up in the Commonwealth and our family has always held the Queen in high esteem. i found out about her death while i was working, and had to excuse myself for a few minutes.
Yes!!! I agree with you, Matthew! CBBC did a more-than-oustandingly-splendiferous job delivering the bio on the late QE2 for their young national audience. :) :) :) :)
Thank you for recording this piece of history. As well as seeing Huw Edwards looking stunned, hearing Andrew Marr break down (LBC radio) was truly heartwrenching.
I never saw CBBC's coverage until today. People only talk about how BBC News had years to prepare for this moment, but no-one (including me) thought about how Newsround would report it to nation's children. Well done, CBBC!
For those who don't know the ITV reporter's name is Mary Nightingale, and I really don't think she's given enough credit for the work she does. She really talks to the camera like how she'd talk to someone right in front of her, making the TV viewers feel like they're in the newsroom. That's truly a great quality to have as a news reporter. I'm saying this as someone from the United States btw
It is not a good skill. One should never notice the persona of the newsreader. She was a bag of nerves and it showed. The role of newsreader requires, poise, professionalism, gravitas and detachment.
@@Juliukas101 I think you're misinterpreting hesitation for nerves, the hesitation for it's part seeminly was because she had a producer in her ear reading the statement, as she takes breaks for roughly the amount of time it would take to read it to her quickly, since she stopped looking for the statement and just started saying it.
She was choking up with sadness and she did an amazing job! Its the first time most people in the UK have heard of a monarch ever and Newsreaders would dread having to break that type of news so she did an amazing job
I’ll repeat a fact I found out by listening to Mary Nightingale a few days ago. Mary Nightingale had been assured the statement announcing the Queen’s death had been put on her autocue just after she finished speaking to another reporter. She looked up to the autocue to read the statement and found it completely blank. The autocue had stopped working. There was then a bit of a panic in her earpiece because they were trying to find the paper version of the statement. When it was found someone had to read out the statement to Mary Nightingale who then recited back to the public. Amid the chaos going on around her, I think she actually did rather well that day. I’d defy anyone to collect themselves quickly enough in that situation when they know they have to deliver an important statement and the equipment they rely on to do it has failed right in front of them.
I'm an American living in San Diego in Southern California and I was actually watching and screen-recording Sky News streaming live online to keep updated with news on Her Majesty's health. But, when there was an extended period of near-dead silence following a seemingly casual news update on that channel, I could actually feel my heart sink into my gut because I could just sense that the worst had come--and it did. :( :(
Yeah. I also felt bad for Dermot Murnaghan. That's the same guy who announced Diana's death 25 years before that. AND he had just returned from his father's funeral.
this is probably unheard of, but I could just imagine the scene out there in the newsrooms. They knew that with the gravity of the first annoucements of her health, the Queen was probably dying at those very moments and they had to prepare for what's to come. the black outfits and the black ties, the headlines, all the footages of the Queen and the national anthem, all on standby.
No matter how often they all rehearsed for this, it will still have been something they couldn't prepare for. It's literally a once in a lifetime occasion.
The fact the palace made such a major announcement about The Queen's health, which they would NEVER normally do would have had the newsrooms on a 'red alert' footing.
The announcers to whom this duty fell: - BBC: Huw Edwards - ITV: Mary Nightingale - 4: Cathy Newman - 5: Dan Walker - Sky: Dermot Murnaghan - GBN: Alastair Stewart - TalkTV: ?? -> Vanessa Feltz - CBBC: De'Graft Mensah Murnaghan and Nightingale became (to my knowledge) the first people to announce two royal deaths on British TV - the two announced the deaths of Diana and the Queen Mother respectively, both for ITV. Mensah becomes (again to my knowledge) the first BAME announcer of a royal death on British TV. I don't recognise the TalkTV presenter who handed over to Vanessa Feltz after the initial announcement, apologies!
Vanessa Feltz's announcement of the Queen's passing was not unlike Walter Cronkite's announcement on our CBS TV network of JFK's death 59 years ago. I feel so very sorry for the BOTH of them. :( :(
Unsure of who was first as the BBC have their own system called RATS which gives them a heads up first concerning the news. Then everyone else would have been confirmed though Reuters News Wire. Would be that close with all news agencies i wouldnt even comment on who was first, but remembering the duties to each channel must be done as its hard to break any news like this
@@DJ_Darly RATS was the BBC's radio alert system, nothing to do with television. There was a five-minute warning that a Palace statement was coming but not whether it would be another update or "the" news that everyone was expecting was coming sooner or later after the events of the day. The palace statement was released on Twitter at the same time it was sent to news agencies, Sky News reported it first, but all the main broadcasters that were already on air with news reported it within a minute or two. The BBC then did the well-rehearsed procedure of a senior person (DG, Head of News etc.) giving the go-ahead to join networks, News and Playout agreeing an exact time and then the News gallery fading to black and BBC Two joining. Took a couple of minutes and to everyone's relief, worked exactly as it has been planned for all these years.
wait let me get this straight. dermot announced the death of both princess diana AND THE QUEEN, along with mary announcing the of the queen AND HER MOTHER? damn thanks for giving me history facts that i will never learn about in school
I was in Atlanta, GA when the news of the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II broke. I was touring a railroad museum when I glanced at my phone and it was full of breaking news notifications from all the Tampa (FL) media outlets (where I am from) when the Queen passed away. After a short while I got into my car and I was listening to the BBC by way of Sirius XM satellite radio with their non-stop coverage while I continued to explore more of metro Atlanta.
GB News was a Hell of a car crash, but both ITV and Sky were completely caught on the hop. However, I have to agree that CBBC absolutely excelled. Newsround absolutely smashed it out the park, perfectly explaining to the kids why this was a big deal without being patronising.
Channel 4 nailed it.. As did the BBC. ITV and Sky were caught on the hop a little (to say the least) GB News and Talk TV were the car crash that I thought they’d be. CBBC was the biggest surprise. What a job they did
Itv, was a car crash, poor Mary Nightingale, left to hang for so long. Channel 4, too much info, too early, with a lack of appropriate solemnity. GB News, Alistair Stewart's tone before should have been a little more sombre and spoke slower. Their coverage over the days was outstanding though.
Once I heard of the Queen's health declining, I may have also tuned into BBC World News to try and get updates on the matter. So the moment Huw announced the death of the Queen, I felt the same thing. It was hard to believe that what was known as "Operation London Bridge" was underway. Especially seeing GSTQ for one last time as they showed an image of her sent chills down my spine.
@@KondaaKage the way I heard the Queen's passing is through a group chat on Facebook. At first, I thought it was a joke until I tuned in to BBC World News and my God, I was just speechless that it is true that she passed away.
Even though I was said before that the BBC would be the first to make the announcement of her death, it was actually both Sky News and Channel 5 (as they both announced it at the same time, despite the fact it was Dermot Murnaghan on Sky and Dan Walker on C5) who first made the announcement
I didnt find it on the television I found this on a sky news live stream and I actually cried (I dont cry often) when I heard the national anthem with a picture of the queen I mostly watched on gb news though Rest in peace her majesty April 21st 1926 - September 8th 2022 11:56 is around where I joined
You weren't the only one who cried without shame. In Canada where I am, everyone here knew HM wasn't well, we were prepared, but still wept. She was a wise and faithful Queen.
Professionalism all round but on this one, the BBC excelled. Huw Edwards got the tone perfectly. Mary Nightingale on ITV too. I felt the others were a little rushed and 'routine'
BBC 1 aside, most of that was a disaster. Shaun the sheep popping up out of nowhere, HRH reference, Mary Nightingale not being able to find the statement, Vanessa Feltz being cut off. Perhaps I’m being harsh but we all know they have practiced this moment for years and years.
@@miseeire3391 No, she couldn't. Her Majesty was HRH Princess Elizabeth right up to the moment of her father's passing, then became HM Queen Elizabeth II. You can't use HRH and HM side by side to address the Monarch; from the moment they become the King or Queen, they're His or Her Majesty, even after their death.
Thank you for this! (even though I did not need the reminder that both GB News and Talk TV are still around!) I must say, Channel 4 would be my pick. Not sycophantic, rather to-the-point and - speaking I suspect as many people my age with a rather mixed view of the Royal Family in general - it struck the right tone.
It was also the night Woody.EXE would become Wales’s reigning monarch and I was so happy for him. I became his Queen at this exact moment and Wales is still not used to this. Everyone still loves Woody.EXE despite what had just happened that night. The day after Queen Elizabeth died; it was the first time me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE were all together during our great grief to greet the crowds as they started gathering at my house. What a horrible week it was for all 5 of us and we should never forget it
I can't see why Talk TV made such a pig's ear of it. An unofficial announcement and then over to an obviously upset Vanessa Feltz for an official announcement which, under the circumstances, she dealt with very well until getting inexplicably cut off and replaced seconds later with Piers Morgan.
The BBC took a few moments to get the news and statement onto the auto-cue, this avoided the embarassment of ITV not being able to find it and needing to be told it down the ear piece. But yes when the flag was shown at half mast, we knew before they announced it.
No one here realy cares about it so they don't realy put much effort into the channel even their flag ship show dosent even beat childrens programing in the ratings here
I noticed before they made the announcement all the male journalists had on black ties and all were wearing black. So I knew to expect the news soon on that day.
I was expecting it Friday morning but nope. I told the news to Woody and he was so grief stricken whilst we both watched the announcement in my bedroom. I can’t believe it’s 4 months today since and Woody hasn’t overcome his grief, I feel sorry for him since he loved Her Majesty the queen and I never knew that
If i remember correctly male news presenters all need to have a black tie on them for when this kind of thing happens, usually it just lives in a pocket
CBBC did really well. Piers Morgan is still an annoying git even in a black suit. Can't believe ITV didn't have the statement ready to go before the poor woman went live on TV.
Why the fuck was TALKTV so unprofessional, I understand cutting to a trusted presenter but then they cut to Peirs in the Middle of Vanessa accouncement.
My mom was watching itv news downstairs I was upstairs watching cinemasins on my tablet also had skysports news on and they came back from a brake and they said we have to go live to sky news for news on the Queen
So was I with my mother and my stepdad. The moment I screamed “Oh god No, not the Queen NO!” Mummy hugged me immediately for an hour before I ran upstairs to tell Woody, I remember telling him “Queen Elizabeth is gone…I’m sorry Woody!” His screen got me
They all knew she had already died. Mary Nightingale almost broke down twice well before the news even broke. They just had to wait for Buckingham Palace to give the go ahead to announce it
The moment doctors announced she was under medical supervision followed by family flying to Balmoral!! You knew that it was only a matter of time before her death was announced.
@@wilnerolivier7971 Being under medical supervision does not necessarily means she is no more. It might also be that she is in ventilator/ICU and doctors trying to save her. Be positive always
cbbc: makes a short news report on the queen and gets on with the rest of the day bbc 1: makes and airs 10 days worth of programs about queen elizabeth even though they didn't need to but they did, just because they loved her so much yep.

The ITV report was rubbish, the presenter shouldn't have had to shuffle around for papers. BBC was appropriate. Channel 4 looked like an audition. GB News, well not bad for an unprepared tiny channel.
The BBC has rehearsals for the death of the monarch, so in fact they should react well to it. It doesn’t stop BBC news being the most corrupt and biased of the lot. I was watching Sky News that afternoon and I thought they did quite well with the announcement, you got the fact, which is what you need, but I think Dermot Murnaghan also captured the sense of shock the announcement brought, despite the fact that most people sensed the news was coming. Some of the announcements are a bit clunky, perhaps they don’t practice it in the way the main channels do. I think we can forgive a bit of emotion and paper shuffling from newsreaders. They actually probably would have received the news on paper from Buckingham Palace and newsreaders would have known they were about to announce something a lot of people would have been touched by. I don’t think the Newsround coverage was good at all. What was the point in going over the press perpetuated reaction to Diana’s death? Most children wouldn’t have any idea who Diana was. I think the newsreader was patronising too. Making news approachable for children is one thing, talking down to children is something else.
Well, I can't believe BBC could be so grounded. They are the epitome of Britishness around the world. But I followed all coverage on Sky News (the live feed on here) and found them great, especially for not talking too much during salient moments.
Can we talk about how well the kids channel (CBBC) handled this? While it really sad news, they managed to put a positive spin on it, turn it into a history lesson & celebration. Well done!
Except that the caption read HRH Queen Elizabeth II, when it should have been HM.
They are well aware that their audience are children, they have always been amazing at breaking bad news to kids
Newsround is unparalleled at delivering news to kids. They’ve been doing it for years and long may they continue to
They will have thought that connecting directly to One would be more shocking For the children. So what better way to make the announcement than with a bit of history.
Yes. I was really impressed with their report. Clearly all pre recorded, but excellent coverage and wonderfully handled.
i was watching the BBC live from Florida, and my heart dropped when they cut from Buckingham Palace to Huw with a look of absolute heartbreak. i’m not ashamed to say i cried.
I already knew something was bad from when at around 4pm(British time) my friends told me that he health was bad , I knew something was up
Because a very, very old millionaire that you didn't know died? People are so weird.
Get over it. The amount of people on this Earth that mourned her shows how much she was loved, appreciated and respected. No other public figure will ever be able to come close to her!

It was ridiculous! I don't want presenters bursting into tears! It is utterly unprofessional.
Why? It shows he's human!!
Elizabeth II, The Great. We are going to miss her. An amazing reign, an amazing lady, a job done to perfection.

CBBC's turned a sad news into a short documentary for childs who saw,heard and know her in their time...
R.I.P Queen 🙏
The split second the news came up on my phone that afternoon... my heart dropped
I remember secretly messaging Woody.EXE about the news and he immediately got really mad in a heart wrenching way. Then he came over for the funeral
Huw Edwards was absolutely amazing. And Newsround was brilliant. Explaining things simply for children is so important.
that first statement didn't age well...
I'm an American living in San Diego in Southern California and I was actually watching and screen-recording Sky News streaming live online to keep updated with news on Her Majesty's health.

Rest in peace her majesty
April 21st 1926 - September 8th 2022
11:56 is around where I joined
You weren't the only one who cried without shame. In Canada where I am, everyone here knew HM wasn't well, we were prepared, but still wept. She was a wise and faithful Queen.
I didn’t expect Mummy to cry but she did when she saw the shock on Woody. 4 months on and Woodys grief is still unbearable to see. What a day it was
I was channel-hopping on updates of the Queen's health - and first heard it on Sky
Professionalism all round but on this one, the BBC excelled. Huw Edwards got the tone perfectly. Mary Nightingale on ITV too. I felt the others were a little rushed and 'routine'
What an utter mess ITV and the amateurs at GBN made of it. CBBC by far the best and most prepared of them all.
Really? He handed over to Newsround but we got a preview for Shaun the Sheep. I don’t think that went to plan.
@@KevinM913 honestly think they played that while they prepped the news reader to report the news.
Normally I would not defend GBN but the newsreader was, at the time, in the early stages of dementia
Mary fluffs her big moment this is why most people watch the BBC for state occasions Huw was the ultimate professional well done sir !
Are there any videos like this covering how different US channels announced/covered it?
Yes, there is one explaining how the 3 cable news networks and the 3 broadcast networks broke the news
BBC 1 aside, most of that was a disaster. Shaun the sheep popping up out of nowhere, HRH reference, Mary Nightingale not being able to find the statement, Vanessa Feltz being cut off. Perhaps I’m being harsh but we all know they have practiced this moment for years and years.
5:06 Well the statement wouldn't of been on one of those pieces of paper on the desk. Probably just nervous.
Thanks for this video Mr J Reid
CBBC was just great. But, out of the general channels, 4 seems to have done the best. They basically did what one would've expected of the BBC.
(18:45) Queen is not HRH! (Her Royal Highness) She was HM! (Her Majesty)

Not sycophantic, rather to-the-point and - speaking I suspect as many people my age with a rather mixed view of the Royal Family in general - it struck the right tone.
This is my message to the United Kingdom. I am sorry for of all your losses all of your monarchs that have reigned for many years.
ITV really messed it up.
That night on the 8th was the longest night ever i just don’t believe it but man we’ll have to get used to a king
It was also the night Woody.EXE would become Wales’s reigning monarch and I was so happy for him. I became his Queen at this exact moment and Wales is still not used to this. Everyone still loves Woody.EXE despite what had just happened that night. The day after Queen Elizabeth died; it was the first time me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE were all together during our great grief to greet the crowds as they started gathering at my house. What a horrible week it was for all 5 of us and we should never forget it
I can't see why Talk TV made such a pig's ear of it. An unofficial announcement and then over to an obviously upset Vanessa Feltz for an official announcement which, under the circumstances, she dealt with very well until getting inexplicably cut off and replaced seconds later with Piers Morgan.

*King
I'm confused because the flag above Buckingham Palace appears to be flying at half mast before the news is announced.
Buckingham Palace changed the flags when they released the statement. There was a gap between the statement being released and it getting on air
The BBC took a few moments to get the news and statement onto the auto-cue, this avoided the embarassment of ITV not being able to find it and needing to be told it down the ear piece. But yes when the flag was shown at half mast, we knew before they announced it.
God bless the queen 👑
GBNews was an absolute disaster. Totally unprofessional
No wonder barely anyone watches it
The text is so weirdly sized
I don't think I've ever seen the channel. The fact The Sun newspaper keeps pushing it is one reason not to watch it though
Yeah I’ve never seen it is it like online?
Even the CBBC, a show for kids announced it better
This was my first time seeing anything from TalkTV. As an American, I'm struck by how blatantly Fox-News-like its layout is.
Well, it is owned by the same company (the company that used to own Sky UK and still does own Sky News Australia)
No one here realy cares about it so they don't realy put much effort into the channel even their flag ship show dosent even beat childrens programing in the ratings here
Listening to national anthem on BBC makes me so sad 😢 rest in peace her majesty, god save the king
I noticed before they made the announcement all the male journalists had on black ties and all were wearing black. So I knew to expect the news soon on that day.
I was expecting it Friday morning but nope. I told the news to Woody and he was so grief stricken whilst we both watched the announcement in my bedroom. I can’t believe it’s 4 months today since and Woody hasn’t overcome his grief, I feel sorry for him since he loved Her Majesty the queen and I never knew that
If i remember correctly male news presenters all need to have a black tie on them for when this kind of thing happens, usually it just lives in a pocket
Channel 4 was rather blunt with the news
very abrupt and clinical
I thought they had the best initial statement. Probably written for a very long, long time
CBBC did really well. Piers Morgan is still an annoying git even in a black suit. Can't believe ITV didn't have the statement ready to go before the poor woman went live on TV.
Add timestamps please
Timestamps are in the description
@@JoshReid if the title/desc is in different languages, timestamps wont show up on platforms such as TV
Happened to my videos once
Why the fuck was TALKTV so unprofessional, I understand cutting to a trusted presenter but then they cut to Peirs in the Middle of Vanessa accouncement.
That is how it has been edited. Vanessa actually gave the full bulitin and did a couple of interviews, Peirs took over later on
@@madabbafan look at the times, it doesn't jump, it stays the same
My mom was watching itv news downstairs I was upstairs watching cinemasins on my tablet also had skysports news on and they came back from a brake and they said we have to go live to sky news for news on the Queen
I was watching BBC News when it was announced. When they had showed the Union Jack at half mast I knew what was following
So was I with my mother and my stepdad. The moment I screamed “Oh god No, not the Queen NO!” Mummy hugged me immediately for an hour before I ran upstairs to tell Woody, I remember telling him “Queen Elizabeth is gone…I’m sorry Woody!” His screen got me
26:23 We now know her big secret--what she kept in her handbag all these years!
You got the wrong time stamp. It’s 25:28
Sad 😔 news 😢 but not unexpected
Oh blimey, how low has Alastair Stewart sunk?! He used to be really professional on ITN but since he's been sacked from them, he's gone downhill
Yeah complete overkill and an awful way to announce her death practically shouting down the microphone.
I will be fair to him as at the time he was in the early stages of dementia
You Also Forgot S4C
GB news made an arse of it. Embarrassment to the country
Just bad
Even the CBBC, a show for kids announced it better
And here I thought GB News stuck to their usual standards!
@@GeoNeilUK no that’s the BBC abusing children
@@sr7791 You aren't even trying to make sense, are you?
They all knew she had already died. Mary Nightingale almost broke down twice well before the news even broke. They just had to wait for Buckingham Palace to give the go ahead to announce it
The moment doctors announced she was under medical supervision followed by family flying to Balmoral!! You knew that it was only a matter of time before her death was announced.
Its not like that. Maybe they thought that the doctors could revive or save her by CPR/shocks
@@jaisrivastava_0274 You're kidding?? Right??
@@wilnerolivier7971 Being under medical supervision does not necessarily means she is no more. It might also be that she is in ventilator/ICU and doctors trying to save her. Be positive always
@@jaisrivastava_0274 Say what?? The fact that family was racing to her beside was an indication that she wasn't going to survive.
anyone want to comment on the kids channel showing her as HRH and not HM.
Like most I'd come in from work and watched just as it was being announced. All the neighbours came out, very little was said.
It's like in the Netherlands for big news tune to public television.
BBC then ITV. Right there is the reason I stick with Auntie for the big news.
And boy did GBN show it was amateur hour.
ik I was watching BBC World News here in the US when the Queen died
cbbc: makes a short news report on the queen and gets on with the rest of the day
bbc 1: makes and airs 10 days worth of programs about queen elizabeth even though they didn't need to but they did, just because they loved her so much
yep.
Very sad.

CBBC's newsround OP looks like Indonesian news segment OPs.
So he says, "The King, ..ss... Charles". I mean what word was that?
i didn't recognise Dermot!! he has aged hasn't he?
Channel 5 was a disaster
Itv had a shocker there
I thought BBC handled it best
The ITV report was rubbish, the presenter shouldn't have had to shuffle around for papers. BBC was appropriate. Channel 4 looked like an audition. GB News, well not bad for an unprepared tiny channel.
Eugh, a GBN watcher

ITV was an embarrassment
The BBC has rehearsals for the death of the monarch, so in fact they should react well to it. It doesn’t stop BBC news being the most corrupt and biased of the lot. I was watching Sky News that afternoon and I thought they did quite well with the announcement, you got the fact, which is what you need, but I think Dermot Murnaghan also captured the sense of shock the announcement brought, despite the fact that most people sensed the news was coming. Some of the announcements are a bit clunky, perhaps they don’t practice it in the way the main channels do. I think we can forgive a bit of emotion and paper shuffling from newsreaders. They actually probably would have received the news on paper from Buckingham Palace and newsreaders would have known they were about to announce something a lot of people would have been touched by. I don’t think the Newsround coverage was good at all. What was the point in going over the press perpetuated reaction to Diana’s death? Most children wouldn’t have any idea who Diana was. I think the newsreader was patronising too. Making news approachable for children is one thing, talking down to children is something else.
What a pile of shite
Well, I can't believe BBC could be so grounded. They are the epitome of Britishness around the world.
But I followed all coverage on Sky News (the live feed on here) and found them great, especially for not talking too much during salient moments.
Fkn endlessly, that’s how it was covered.
