英国广播公司（BBC）的员工近日正就如何恰当报道英女王伊丽莎白二世去世的消息接受培训。此前，该公司资深主持人彼得·西松斯因在报道女王母亲去世消息时服饰不宜而遭批，BBC希望通过演练避免此类尴尬再次出现。

Sissons was later criticised for not wearing a black tie as he announced the death of the Queen Mother.
Television presenters² at the BBC are being trained on how to correctly announce the death of the queen in a bid to avoid a gaffe³（失态） like the one when the queen mother died and a veteran news anchor wore a burgundy（深紫红色） tie.

The BBC was heavily criticised after the death of the queen mother in 2002, when news presenter¹ Peter Sissons went on air in a grey suit and a burgundy tie, said the Daily Mail.

Staff at the BBC's College Of Journalism⁴ have been shown mock（模拟的） videos that announce that the queen has passed away.

'Like all news organisations, the BBC has plans in place. We provide training to ensure staff understand what would be expected,' an official said.

BBC chiefs hope the funeral training will avoid a repeat of the Sissons episode.

In the aftermath of her death, the BBC received numerous complaints from audiences over the handling of the announcement. Rival broadcaster ITV had presenters who adhered to the traditional black tie attire⁵（服装） for the broadcast.

The BBC said it has since changed its policy and reporters will be instructed to wear dark coloured suits, with male broadcasters in white shirts and black ties as a mark of respect.

After the announcement of the queen's death, the national anthem⁶ will be played, while television screens will display a picture of the royal.

BBC will also suspend all comedy shows across its channels until after the burial.
