news.bbc.co.uk clocked up its biggest audience ever - the day after the UK election, when more than 11 million people logged on to get the very latest news.

The impressive figure beat the previous BBC News Online record of over 9 million people, achieved on the day of the Barack Obama US election victory in 2008. Read the full story in Press Gazette.

The BBC is rightly regarded as one of the best, if not the best, news gathering organisations in the world, known for fast, trustworthy reporting, delivered by skilled, expert journalists.

On another election note, hats off to veteran journalist, broadcaster and Question Time host David Dimbleby, aged 71, who anchored the BBC election coverage for a whopping 18 hours, after going on air at 9.55pm last Thursday night and finally ending at 3.40pm the following day, still looking as fresh as a daisy!
