Title: Coverage of death of Princess Margaret

I think this has been well handled generally - and in particular I think they did well to avoid being over-reverential, or wiping out all normal scheduled programming.
But there was still a little too much of it. Not least because, on News 24, they were struggling to find things to say from about 10 am on Saturday.
