The first thing I done upon reading "London Bridge is Down" in a group chat of mine was to ask my Google Home Mini to play BBC Radio 1, and it was the way I knew that she had died.
This will ring memories for me for long time forward.
RIP, Long live the Queen.

Have a drink every time the announcer says ''This is BBC News.''

[@OtreblaMaslab]

To make this a duel you would need 54 shot glasses and 2 sick buckets.

[@fortcraft_snv]

Czech: Yes.

[@Ulleskelf]

I'm pleased that someone had the foresight not to switch BBC Radio Cymru to the English-language news output.

[@SigmaRho2922]

The announcement on BBC cymru was an exact translation of the english announcement

[@iamkieranm]

Too bad nobody at Nan Gàidheal had the same idea.

[@arwelp]

@@SigmaRho2922 except they didn’t mention “the Queen Consort”. Probably couldn’t think of the word for consort under the pressure of the moment.

[@arthurvasey]

The Welsh sometimes use the English word when no Welsh one can be found!

[@hollinsheadfamily2377]

I'm shocked of the death of the queen.
I'm even more shocked to learn there are lots more BBC Radio stations that I did not know about
Fly high your majesty 🕊
God save the king

I’m Canadian and I’ve been fascinated by the response to the Queen’s death in the UK. She’s a very big deal.

[@TheWaveGoodbye-Music]

Only to a certain class of people or people who think they're of that class but aren't

[@fortcraft_snv]

Well she *WAS* the Queen of your country.

[@kacperborowiecki2015]

A small addition: BBC4 and BBC5 went all-news a few hours before, so they broke the news a couple of minutes before switching to the official announcement which is registered here. Here BBC5: th-cam.com/video/xjVE-CR6VcI/w-d-xo.html

[@adrianconoza]

Anyone here who knows the person who announced the Queen's death?

[@avcomp5336]

Apparently someone called Chris. After his announcement, there was a woman who said "Thank you Chris"

[@erned8445]

Chris Aldridge.
He read the Six O'clock News on BBC R4 earlier that day

BBC Asian Network:
*claxon sound*
This is BBC News...

[@pavlovskiavtobuskizavod]

I knew the queen’s death from the Armenian news. 30 minutes later,

[@fortcraft_snv]

5X: This is BBC news. LIVE SPORTS

[@FINGER109]

5:43 anyone know the song name?

[@arthurvasey]

Calling All The Heroes by a group called It Bites!
