Tonight’s ITV Evening News was dedicated our brilliant colleague, ITV Border news editor Neil Billingham whose funeral was held today.
Thoughts with everyone at
@itvtynetees
and
@ITVborder
- a very sad day.
Really delighted to be starting the new year with a new job - as a network Programme Editor at ITV News.
Which means my brilliant job is being advertised. ITV London is a fantastic team that I've been so lucky to be part of for years; small, talented, hugely ambitious.
A last newsgathering credit for the brilliant Brendan McGowan

What a time to launch the hour long ITV Evening News, when trusted eyewitness journalism is so vital and important. Anchored by

I like to think Sean Lock would laugh at how much time is being spent in the

Granada Studios was such an iconic building. Although the main building is still standing, it has certainly changed its appearance over the past 5 years or so.
The big red Granada TV signs always stood out on the Manchester skyline.

Sabina Nessa was attacked on Friday night in Kidbrooke.
She wasn't found for almost 24 hours.
Teachers at her primary school say she was 'kind, caring and absolutely dedicated to her pupils'. It must be so hard to try to explain this to those children.

31 Met Police officers are each facing £200 fines after a professional barber went into Bethnal Green station to cut their hair.

This shocking allegation, on News at Ten tonight, was brought to ITV News by firefighters who had seen

The average Londoner spends 80 mins a day commuting, more than in Europe or New York. If they worked from home, they would save 297 hours a year, according to the TUC. If they sleep for eight hours a day, that’s three and a half working weeks.

White people, we need you to be loudly anti-racist
