Huw Edwards will be seen on BBC Knowledge as the main anchor of that version of the live coverage of the Royal Wedding. The live Royal Wedding coverage on BBC Knowledge will basically be the ''domestic'' coverage of the BBC of the Royal Wedding, meaning, it will be what Britains will be seeing on their own terrestrial channel BBC One. (Misal Husain will be leading the coverage as the main anchor for BBC World News - basically the worldwide news service on television.)
Huw Edwards will be based outside Buckingham Palace where he will be joined by fellow anchors Fiona Bruce and Sophie Raworth who will be situated at key locations in central London. BBC-ers roped in from radio to help on TV for the day are Fearne Cotton and Edith Bowman, BBC Sport presenter Jake Humphrey, Chris Hollins, along with Alex Jones and her colleague, Anita Rani. They will all ''capture the stories, excitement and celebrations from across London, the United Kingdon and around the world,'' says the BBC.
The BBC also announced that it will be streaming live coverage on its website portal on 29 April at bbc.co.uk/royalwedding
''The BBC's in-depth coverage of the Royal Wedding will bring the event to life for viewers,'' says Mark Byford, the BBC's deputy director general who is overseeing the BBC's Royal Wedding plans.
