Great to be at BBC HQ in London nice & early this morning to chat to BBC Local Radio about the momentous events of yesterday. The projection of the Queen on the front of Broadcasting House looks amazing.
Lots of children leaving tributes to the Queen at Buckingham Palace this Saturday morning. V moving to see all the hand-drawn cards & messages. Tea with Paddington did so much to introduce her to little ones. It’s a loss felt by every generation. @BBCNorthampton
Loving the Jubilee Pageant - brilliant but bonkers. Not sure if other countries do this sort of thing? Or just us? #PlattyJoobs
I’ve had an amazing 4 days in London covering the #PlatinumJubilee for BBC Local Radio. Can’t wait to see the bear of the moment - Paddington himself - in the big pageant this afternoon!
Really appreciate you doing these. Tack!
Various media want to talk to me about ABBA Voyage, and who am I to turn them down? I will post as soon as I have more details. What I know now: Thursday morning, 8am-10am, I will spend two hours talking to local BBC Radio stations. Schedule here: bit.ly/3t9v9Ey
Thanks Ashis! @BurtBacharach has to be one of the greatest songwriters ever & still making wonderful music all these years later. An inspiration to us all!

Thinking a lot today about my late BBC colleague Jonathan Ali. I’ve been covering the D-Day commemorations & wishing he was around. He was brilliant on anything war related. Missing his expert knowledge, his enthusiasm & his ability to sniff out free food. One in a million. – at Portsmouth, England
Reporting for BBC Local Radio from Portsmouth as 255 D-Day veterans set sail for Normandy 75 years on. For many veterans, it’s their first time back since 1944! – at Portsmouth, England
Portsmouth is the centre of the UK’s D-Day commemorations today. The Queen, Pres Trump & other world leaders attending but it’s all about the D-Day veterans - 300 of them will be here. Event starts at 11.30. Proud to be covering it for BBC Local Radio. @BBCEngland – at Portsmouth, England
Good luck to Michael Rice for tonight’s #Eurovision. He’s been working really hard out here in Tel Aviv and has been a fantastic ambassador for our country. Great to meet him and to meet his Mum & Grandma, who’ve also flown out for the final. They seem like a lovely family!
I’m ready & focused!! Please Europe & Australia vote for the UK tonight if you love ‘Bigger Than Us’ it would means the world to me - VOTE #16!!!!! I love you all♥️♥️ lets fill all of our social media today with ‘Vote Team UK🇬🇧🏆’ let’s spread the word🔥🔥
The Blue Peter Garden is well worth a look if you’re visiting Media City - it’s FREE & open to the public. Small but packed with TV history. Lovely to see the hand prints of John Noakes & the paw prints of Shep! And of course the statue of Petra!!!
Hello from the actual Blue Peter Garden! I’m with the RSPB’s Annabel Rushton talking to BBC Local Radio about this weekend’s #BigGardenBirdwatch. The first one launched on Blue Peter 40 years ago today! @Natures_Voice – at Salford, England

Happy Birthday #BernardCribbins - 90 today!
To celebrate, he's made an ace programme for BBC Local Radio - playing his favourite comedy records & talking about his life. No interviewer. Just Bernard, telling stories. Perfect!
Hear it now on BBC Sounds 👉bbc.in/2TmtJn5
Also, big thanks to @Mike_Batt for helping us get permission to use clips of the original Wombles TV series in our Bernard Cribbins 90th birthday special. Cheers Mike. Bramble pudding is on me!
Thanks @WilliamShatner for giving up time in your lunch break at #destinationstartrek to speak to #bbclocalradio - especially having just flown into Birmingham from a tour of Australia. Hardest working man in showbiz! And your new Xmas album is a joy - the world needs this!
Awesome to watch the RAF centenary flypast over Buckingham Palace for BBC Local Radio. An unforgettable spectacle - especially the Typhoons flying in a ‘100’ formation! Also, great to meet lots of friendly @RoyalAirForce people. Thanks for answering all my daft questions!!!
Cloudy skies in London ahead of the RAF’s big centenary flypast - hope it clears for 1pm! Aircraft old & new set to fly in formation over Buckingham Palace including Spitfires, Chinooks & Red Arrows. Excited to be covering it for BBC Local Radio! @BBCEngland #RAF100
