    BBC uses old clip of Boris Johnson at cenotaph instead of video of his wreath gaffe Archived Message

    "The BBC has apologised for broadcasting a three-year-old clip of Boris Johnson at the cenotaph on Breakfast this morning.

    The old clip was used instead of footage from yesterday of the bungling Tory leader placing a poppy wreath upside down as the Queen watched.

    The broadcaster said: "This morning on the programme we incorrectly used footage from a Remembrance Day service that was not filmed yesterday.

    "This was a production mistake and we apologise for the error".

    The PM was accused of being disrespectful for placing a wreath upside down.

    But this error wasn't shown on the BBC this morning - with 2016 cenotaph footage being aired instead." https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/breaking-bbc-uses-old-footage-20858947
