Some 11 days on from the Queen's death at her Balmoral estate, and viewers are taking to social media to praise the journalist for his dedication to the coverage, with many suggesting he book in a couple of weeks' worth of holiday following the funeral.

Meanwhile others called for Huw to receive a Knighthood for his unwavering efforts.

"Hope huw edwards gets a knighthood in the next batch of honours, don’t think he’s slept for the past 2 weeks," wrote one.
