Just checked bbc sounds homepage and anything you'd expect to be a bit more lively - R1, R1 dance/xtra has been taken off air and replaced with sad newsbeat.

Yep. Usually is my alarm but felt like I was being told to feel sad.
Is a momentous occasion in terms of history/a significant historical figure has passed away who oversaw or was a witness to a huge amount of social change so interesting times I guess but am avoiding any broadcast media for a week. And the local fb group - fucking hell.

QVC doing the country proud and suspending programming for the time being. Meanwhile on Gems TV much more understated jewellery on offer, purchases for the funeral I’d imagine. Over on Ideal World it’s a very sombre mood indeed, all in black for the treadmill sales. Similar for Create and Craft and Jewellery Maker, all in black with calm soothing patter and demure products on offer.
