Queen Elizabeth II | 1926-2022 | Rest in Peace

I'm not watching, but has anyone got caught by the Porno noise whatsapp message thing yet?
 
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)?
Because most people these days use smart devices and streaming services to watch stuff.
 
It's not that far fetched, there's probably more mobiles and other portable devices than TV's around the world.
Not denying a lot of people use Youtube but downplaying the viewing figures just because a select youtube channel only has 40k viewers is a bit laughable to say the least.
 
A lot of people will be watching on BBC, which is available in a lot of countries worldwide. Youtube isn't a great way to conclude how many are watching.

Apart from British people who watches the BBC?

According to the TV guide it's on news channels and the first TF1 and FR2 in France until 2pm UK time. Apart from a few grannies watching daytime TV there won't be many watching. Everyone's at work/school.
They'll see it on the news tonight and that's it.

BBC World Service? Whenever I've gone to Asian countries the BBC and Fox are widely watched. Probably less so in the EU I imagine.

Just looked on Tiktok of all places, Sky has 70k, CGTN Europe as 40k, Yahoo has 50k, BBC 40k. I was watching it on iplayer on my phone earlier when i was travelling..

BBC worldwide is for British people abroad. Why would people in whatever country they live in watch the BBC and not their local news channels. I can get BBC worldwide on my TV but never watch it.

Their local news might be biased with an agenda. BBC is one of the most respected and balanced medias in the world.

I get that, but I've seen it watched loads on my travels. It's good for catching up on headlines and weather I imagine. It has long sections on local news relevant to the area mixed in with some UK news.

An estimated 4 billions including news bulletins.
Now even if that is a gross exaggeration by an order of magnitude, billions of people worldwide will watch at least some part of it. Including of course your President and his wife.
 
Because most people these days use smart devices and streaming services to watch stuff.

Most young people. Most older people, who are more likely to watch this are more likely to watch on TV. At least in western countries (don't know about elsewhere). To say the whole world is watching is obviously inaccurate but it is still a massive event globally. There are 500 heads of state and dignitaries attending.

The stats are that 426m people access BBC worldwide each week. Brits must do a lot of travelling!
 
Can't wait for this whole nonsense charade to be over. What a monumental waste of time and money.

It will be on news bulletins of course everywhere, the same as any event happening in the world but there are certainly very few glued to watching the event live.
 
Just checked on youtube and it's 40k watching, that's like what a no mark guy streaming fifa from his basement gets on an average wednesday.
I’m no fan of this archaic parade, but comparing this funeral to the viewing figures of a run of the mill Fifa steamer on Twitch is hilarious. :lol:
 
Not at all. He is the Queen grandson. And while many like you and me still feel he is a disgrace, he is still part of the close royal family.

I'm almost positive that he is actually her son, not her grandson. Also, he is a pedophile rapist.
 
How do you know that?

Because why should they? People are going about their normal day, working, at school, half the world are asleep. Only the UK are on holiday and despite what Foyle said, it's a bit of pageantry and the Queen was respected I would guess in most countries but that's it.

Yes, I'm sure most people watch their phones instead of watching their TV. Why would anyone watch their 40inch+ live TV screen when they could watch their 6inch phone screen with a minutes delay?
 
I sense a lot of you dont like or agree with the monarchy, thats fine.
I am not a huge Royalist , but Queen Elizabeth II has been around for all my life, I respect what she has done.
All the Pom and Pageantry is just what we do the best and I think she deserves every second and every penny.
The service and Parades before and after have been amazing.
