Veteran broadcaster Huw Edwards is said to have “prepared and practised” the moment he would break the news of the Queen’s death to the nation on BBC News.
The Welsh journalist delivered news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II on BBC One Thursday evening, after the monarch had been placed under medical supervision by doctors earlier in the day.
The Ten O'Clock News presenter wore a black suit and tie as he told BBC viewers at around 6.30pm: “A few moments ago, Buckingham Palace announced the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.”
