Another piece of the "who knew what when" jigsaw from Press Gazette:
The earliest any outlet had confirmed the death of the Queen was by 3.06pm, when Guido Fawkes accidentally published the news early.
“We had prepared a post and we knew from sources Her Majesty had passed,” editor Paul Staines told Press Gazette.
“It was put out in error early. We deleted it within seconds and intended to wait for the official announcement. Which we did. We weren’t looking for a scoop.”
