Thanks for uploading this - I don't think this is available anywhere else. As the footage shows, BBC1 closed down just after 3am the night the Gulf War started, whereas ITN and John Suchet continued to stay on the air until 6am when they handed straight over to TV-AM.

In 1991, BBC Breakfast News usually started at 6.30am, however due to the Gulf War, an extra 30 minutes was added to the programme.

Ceefax had to be accompanied by sombre music at the time British and American forces defended us against the evil forces of Saddam.

Did BBC 1, ITV and Channel 4 carry George H.W.Bush's address to the US people announcing the start of the Gulf War?
