Britain – Queen Elizabeth’s funeral: Around 30 million viewers watched the BBC broadcast

Its telecast funeral her queen elizabeth ii is among those with the greatest impact in recent years in Britain, since – according to BBC – about 28 million TV viewers were simultaneously recorded tuned to his receivers to watch the historic ceremony.

The funeral procession for Queen Elizabeth II – who died on September 8 after 70 years on the British throne – it was held in Westminster Abbey and televised in many countries of the world.

According to the BBC, the majority of viewers in Britain tuned in to its receivers. Some 32.5 million watched live coverage of the ceremony and 22.4 million tuned in as the Queen’s casket made its way through the streets of central London.

The television audience was, according to the BBC, the largest since the closing ceremony of the London Olympics (2012) and similar to that which watched the funeral of Princess Diana (1997).

Viewership numbers represent people who watched at least three minutes of streaming. They do not, however, represent those who watched the live broadcast on mobile phones or laptops.

About now 250,000 people worshiped her coffin. They even waited hours to say “goodbye” to her.

The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on September 19, 2022 was the first state funeral since Winston Churchill was buried in 1965according to grunge.com.

Although numbers as improbable as 4 billion, there is no doubt that her funeral broke world records for television viewing – until recently Princess Diana’s funeral held the record as half the world’s population watched it live on television – and it attracted far more than the very impressive 350 million that Churchill’s funeral had.
