BBC viewers have praised news anchors Clive Myrie and Huw Edwards for presenting hours of rolling coverage on the Queen.
Those watching across the nation took to social media to applaud news host Huw for showing "exemplary professionalism, dignity and humanity" in announcing the death of Her Majesty, the Queen, at 6.30pm on Thursday evening.
The broadcaster had pulled their TV schedule hours earlier, after Buckingham Palace had issued a statement from the Queen's doctors showing serious concern over her health.
