The Jubilee weekend is over but there is plenty of post-match analysis of the BBC's coverage of the event.
Gillian Reynolds, the Daily Telegraph's radio critic, says she felt "let down" by the BBC's coverage of the Thames River Pageant.
"I couldn't reconcile the beautiful framing of the shots with the words," she told the Today programme.
"I thought - someone's going to tell me what these boats are. And nobody did."
Mark Damazer, former controller of BBC Radio 4, said that the coverage was attempting to be "informal… inclusive and warm".
"The BBC just probably tried too hard," he said. #BBC #jubilee #media #GillianReynolds #MarkDamazer

I too thought BBC coverge was appalling. The late Richard Dimbleby must have been turning in his grave. His knowledge and research was second to none. I was appalled by the apparent lack of knowledge of the pre4senters. For instance not only during the Thames pageant but also at St Paul's, they appeared to have absolutely no idea who all the guests were. I look forward to seeing the so called " minor" royals but they were not identified. I felt that they were far too keen to show off their presenters with celebrities who really we could have done without.
