25 years! Genius piece of music...
Today is the 25th Anniversary of @davidlowemusic2 ‘s music for @BBCNews
As a celebration from 0959 - 1800 listen out for some special reminders from down memory lane!
Meanwhile here’s David - in his own words - on how it was created.
Happy 25th Music Anniversary
Forgive this lifelong bookworm who unashamedly adores #WorldBookDay and most enjoyed the teacher dressed as Miss Haversham, complete with only one shoe. Stories are for me: salvation, windows to other worlds, lessons in empathy - wish every child this!

Thought maybe the app was down but no, @Deliveroo drivers have gone on strike!
Oooof, these poor people! Set off on a #Ryanair flight from #Manchester to #Dublin, normally an hour's journey - 3 hours in the air in the eye of #StormIsha only to land in Liverpool, a 40 minute car ride from where they started 😬 nitter.cf/WendyHurrell/status/17…
Stop! Just give 20-odd mins to this masterclass of TV News (on Iplayer for only 24 hours from now). Phenomenal portrayal of the most incredible charitable, life-saving service: the London Air Ambulance - made by colleagues, of whom I am also awe!

Absolute scenes when we pulled in to Slough station to chaos rain! Some made a dash, squealing in the torrents - others patiently shuffled along inside the train to alight in the covered bit, with only a minute to spare before it set off back to Windsor. #thunder #lightning #rain
So sorry not to be out in London, telling your stories today - have been on the picket line - @BBCRadioLondon & @BBCLondonNews on strike over plans to replace local radio shows with national ones. BBC says: to divert money into digital
@NUJofficial : it’ll diminish Local Radio
And it was broadcast in more than one region where journalists are striking to fight for the integrity of local news services...
🚨BREAKING🚨
Last night, BBC broke guidelines in pretending pre-recorded broadcast was live.
The 22:25 BBC London TV news bulletin was pre-recorded at 19:30, missing the biggest story of the night - West Ham winning the Europa Conference League final.

'I didn't know that you came here.'
Sky's @YousraElbagir found her uncle in the crowds as evacuees were arriving in Jeddah from Sudan.

That twinkle of mishief in his eyes was just intoxicating! Barry Humphries in 2018: vimeo.com/280901288

2018 - I wasn't sure where the interview would go next, he commanded it brilliantly and at the end I made him laugh and he said, "I LOVE Wendy!" - we lose another outrageous great. #BarryHumpries #BarryHumphriesRIP #DameEdna #DameEdnaEverage
Recognition for the brilliant local news people, who hold the powerful to account...

Just sat and read The Ugly Duckling, that classic fable by Hans Christian Anderson, sent home from school. Afterwards, 7-year-old turned to me and said - that's a really good story about not being mean to people because they are different #RoaldDahl
@British_Airways My little girl and her Papa are still waiting for their bags at Heathrow T3 - he suggested they just leave them, they've waited an hour and it is very late - but she can't bear it - Mama Giraffe is in the suitcase! - she can't go without her cuddly 😟 Any update?
My husband just lent his charger to a BA pilot also waiting for bags. 90 minutes and counting. Please let them all know what is happening 😬
