zoe conway in central london, thanks very much.important. these days, though, we have social media, which has been in overdrive since the news was announced so lets get a view on what sort of role whenever we have a wave of posts about a particular topic there is a risk of misleading posts or things to look out for. as ever, that is myjob, so i have some advice for people on some of the things they might see on social media that they might want to look out for. firstly, because we are getting lots of montages of old pictures and videos, that also means people are sharing old pictures in a misleading way. we have seen pictures of other royal events and people suggesting they are happening now. there is a picture of meghan markle dressed up to go to remembrance sunday, she is in black, you can see a poppy, it says this was meghan at the funeral dressed like diana. they are comparing them and implying this is the funeral but we know the funeral hasn't happened yet. it is happening on monday. you can see various clues, the poppy on the
