Peston tied up in knots with colour changes
ITV’s political editor Robert Peston kept changing ties yesterday while reporting on growing concerns about the Queen before her death was announced.
The 62-year-old started out with a black tie, which was apparently deemed too sombre by his team, as he broadcast in Downing Street. He then changed to a colourful striped tie before switching back to black and a navy blue one with white spots. When the Queen’s death was announced he wore a black tie for a third time.
One viewer tweeted: ‘Robert Peston had a black tie on earlier. Now changed to blue and white... Is it a fashion show?’
