Cleverly worded to make it sound like they are in the same league as accredited broadcasters & journalists. They are not they present a light morning tv show. And most of the time are at best mediocre. They had no business there in the capacity of serious journalists ..This was the statement that Holly read out, see nothing from Philip.
"Like hundreds of accredited broadcasters and journalists, we were given official permission to access the hall. It was strictly for the purpose for reporting on the event for millions of people in the UK who haven't been able to visit Westminster in person.
The rules were that we would be quickly escorted around the edges to a platform at the back.
In contrast, those paying their respects walked along a carpeted area beside the coffin and were given time to pause.
None of the broadcasters and journalists there took anyones place in the queue and no one filed past The Queen. We, of course respected those rules, however we realised that it may have looked like something else and therefore totally understand of the reaction.
Please note we would never jump a queue."
God she's no Huw Edwards is she?
Eamonn commented again today. They were discussing how many people had come to see the Queen. When he was advised what the numbers were he said "does that number include Phil and Holly?".......Where did Huw Edwards and Eammon Holmes comment?
You're a credit to yourselves and everyone else. I have a lot of respect for all the people that queued to show their respects.We queued overnight, we’d been in the queue since 12am Friday & we went in around the time they waltzed in.
