This is how the BBC broke the news of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh to viewers in the UK. Programming was interrupted by a black screen and a "News Report". Presenter Martine Croxall said: "We are interrupting our normal programmes to bring you an important announcement. A short while ago Buckingham Palace announced the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh." The national anthem was played as a sign of respect.

Interrupted programme (at least on BBC One England) was "Paramedics on Scene".
