that want to abolish the monarchy as who are celebrating the jubilee. you wouldn t know that if you had been watching bbc s coverage of the last few days. deb taylor was watching that and emails: many of the weekens ceremonies broadcast on the channel of the corporation s largely celebratory approach represented a failure ofjournalistic impartiality. for dave in birmingham: one specific moment over the long weekend attracted a lot of attention from the audience and it came as guests arrived at st paul s cathedral on friday morning for the queen s thanksgiving service. the prime ministerjust arriving with his wife. quite a bit of booing in the crowd. i know. you can hear it, there is quite of lot of booing, actually. a substantial amount. didn t see that coming. quite a moment. we definitely haven t heard that for any other vip guests, that s fair to say. that was broadcast live. but as jane hill continued to talk to her guests, the footage of mr and mrs johnson was replayed
now on bbc news it s time for newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch with me samira ahmed. did bbc news overdo the platinumjubilee celebrations last weekend and forget its normal journalistic values? 0h, quite the booing in the crowd, and you can hear it. and did the bbc alter the sound level of booing when repeating shots of boris and carriejohnson at last week s thanksgiving service? a decade ago, the bbc was widely criticised for dumbing down it s treatment of the queens diamond jubilee, with its rain drenched royal flotilla along the thames. and a year ago, it received a record 100,000 complaints about the extent of air time devoted to the duke of edinburgh s death. those experiences coupled, with the recent troubled history of the royal family meant there was an intense focus on how the platinum jubilees death was covered on the bbc. and the corporation certainly pulled out all the stops from the start of the weekend to the end. cheering. she was the star of the show
hopefully, that isn t the big story that s going to come out today, hopefully, it s a family gathering together to recognise the contribution and the service of their boss. she s the boss of the firm as well as being the kind of matriarch figure of the royal family. certainly, i hope that queen in the midst of the celebration, she s also going to get to meet her one year old granddaughter. she turns one tomorrow. some viewers detected less booing and not repeat showing of the pictures with when they were broadcast again later in the weekend. vicki middleton from northampton shire was well, to respond to all those issues, i m doing here in the studios by richard burgess, interim senior controller of bbc content.
