I don’t think he suggested who cares and who doesn’t. He simply said the pallbearers were under a lot of pressure and the eyes of the world are on them.
Don’t see why that’s caused such a debate or why it would be controversial.

Do they just march through the horse shit then? That's the key question here
dibs on Sara Phillips.
I was responding to you using the YouTube viewing figures as a barometer for worldwide interest, when they're clearly not given the vast majority of countries has the service available on television for those who choose to watch. This is such a weird argument.
It's not that far fetched, there's probably more mobiles and other portable devices than TV's around the world.Youtube is the entire world?
going to take them ages to get to windsor at this pace. should have asked superhans to drag the carriage.
From a quick glance, it's being shown on the BBC1 equivalent of France, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, from just a quick glance. Those channels have a significant share of viewership for their countries. Guess we'll just have to wait for viewing figures, however that's measured. It's going to be a very, very high number. Not quite sure what you're expecting?
Is Jeff Stelling there?
Ah, didn't know that. Thanks
no. the barriers are there to stop the horses veering into the plebs.
That was one example, I'd expect the official live stream of a 'globally watched event' to have a bit more than that.
Moby didn't say anything disrespectful, he just disagreed with the eyes of the entire world notion, and you and a few others have a different view. It's not a big deal.
I can’t believe there are people who went through twice for the laying in state. Don’t these people have anything else to do?
Who is that absurdly tall bloke?
kris kamara reporting from balmoral.
No it’s not a big deal. Just odd he took issue with the passing comment that was made.

There's a no-commentary channel on iPlayer. The band are great so I'm just listening to that.

Isn’t it just
tbh they are all munters. It’s hard to choose any of them. I feel like any is a big L.
Quite a lot of horse shit about.
Looked like the dude off Pointless
Richard Osman
Why? It's on pretty much every TV channel in the UK, and as an example I used the US where it was live on pretty much every major news channel, another person gave Australia as an example where it was on four of the five main channels. Why would people watch something on YouTube they could watch on their TV (if they chose to watch it)?
It's more that I hate these people doing it rather than thinking the media circus doesn't pitch it as entertainment.
Then again I hate people who do it for any event its just especially jarring for a funeral. Social media wankers.
crouchy ?

They have barely spoken
How does commenting that it's usually really busy on Hyde Park Corner add anything?
Pointing out the King, his siblings and close family. No shit Sherlock.
We don't need to know any of the shit he's saying.
Do you want Steve McMananman and Jermaine Jenas instead?
Deserved invitation.
Makes no sense to me. It's being televised all around the world, whether people like it or not, it's a huge event and the eyes on anyone from around the world could've been on them. I wouldn't have wanted that level of pressure.
Quite amusing all the people bashing this funeral, yet still watching it.
Match Day thread status: achieved.
Of course. I mean imagine making a mistake at such a ceremony. It would published everywhere and etched in history. They’ve done an exceptional job.
They'll only have a couple of hours or so to get to Windsor. In this traffic, it's going to be pushing it.
It's absurd that Andrew is part of this procession, isn't it?
Hated, adored, never ignored.
What would they have done if it had been tipping it down with rain?
Like the bloke who face planted on first night in state.
