This was my 18th Birthday of all things indeed-thank you of course!!

[@AntonFanify]

I am not 100% sure but I think the announcer is Ian Aldred?

[@anthonyperkins7556]

I like the smooth transition from clock to globe over the national anthem.

[@ravenhill-the-hospitaller-1968]

a great closedown.

[@traeyboy529]

Ha ha: the globe popped up at 11: 44pm

[@aidanlunn7441]

+traeyboy529 Yes, that's normal. That's how BBC1 normally closed down, with the national anthem over the spinning BBC1 globe. You can look at any other BBC1 closedown and you'll find the same thing happening.
