Incorrect. BBC News used a helicopter to film aerial footage of the People’s Vote march last weekend. The footage on @BBCPolitics has been viewed 9.8m times and is the most shared BBC News tweet ever.

I'm very sad to let you know that James Alexander Gordon has died at the age of 78. A true gentleman, he will be greatly missed at BBC Sport

I thought @GaryLineker @alanshearer @rioferdy5 @Guymowbray @jjenas8 and the @BBCSport team were brilliant yesterday - intelligent, informed, entertaining but, more than anything else, authentic and infectious in their sheer joy at England’s win.

'The stuff of dreams' - BBC pundits celebrate wildly as England score against Germany

So sad to hear about the death of Kevin Gearey. He was a one-off: an unforgettable character and a gent; a magisterial writer but never lofty or pretentious; and an aficionado who made sport accessible and engaging for all audiences. What a talent.

James @BBCJamesCook is a class act and he dealt with this depressing incident in his usual cheerfully calm, polite manner. Very proud to have a journalist of his integrity, intelligence and decency as our Scotland Editor.

This is utterly sickening. @BBCJamesCook is the most fair, thorough & kindest journalists in the business. His calm reaction in the face of this vitriol tells you everything you need to know about him. Appalling. x.com/blairmcdougall…

Peak audience of 5.7m for BBC’s 6.30pm regional news programmes last night (average 5.4m). Wonder how many of those were tuned to @BBCNWT for Dianne Oxberry tribute.

Congratulations to the @BBCNews World News team for winning the @RTS_media news coverage international award.

Sporting a boxer’s face and the hat which a stranger gave me to keep warm after my bicycle fall. Feeling lucky to be ok, thankful I was wearing a helmet and overwhelmed by the kindness shown to me at the time and since. Wonder if I can find the hat man? Dave was his name, I think
