We had all day yesterday of them covering his life which was interesting in parts, but at the end of it all he was a very old man who had come to the natural end of his life. What more do we need to know? Philip himself had stated he didn’t want a fuss. Just to add, I am not anti royal at all, I like the Queen and PP.

You are not alone, the BBC had had to put a dedicated complaint form on its website. It was well over the top, by all means dedicate one channel but BBC1 & 2, BBC news, even BBC Alba and BBC 4 was suspended, even BBC radio was playing "reflective" music all day.
