BBC buries footage of new RAF Bomber Command memorial
They're not confused - they're just on the other side.
The BBC has come in for further criticism of its national events coverage after it refused to broadcast the unveiling of the RAF Bomber Command Memorial on its main channels.

Bomber Command veterans enlisted the help of Telegraph readers to raise the £5.5 million cost of the monument, which will be unveiled soon.

The RAF Bomber Command Association has been campaigning for a permanent memorial to the 55,573 crew who lost their lives during the war Instead of the showing the event attended by the Queen, eight members of the 7,000 veterans and families the BBC will be showing repeats or live tennis.
Instead, they buried short coverage of the unveilling on one of their channels with the fewest viewers.
The move has been condemned by campaigners who have worked tirelessly to raise the £6 million for a fitting tribute to the 55,000 airmen killed during the Second World War.

It also comes just a fortnight after the BBC was heavily criticised for its lacklustre coverage of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Thames river pageant.
Why would the BBC care about the Queen?
