Erm ok
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.
Pretty incredible organisation. It's when they went through the arches when I realised why there's that exact amount of navy personnel in a row.
Not really.
They do. It's being televised/streamed/shown on every channel in the UK, and will be shown in multiple other countries, too. That's without even getting into clips being replayed on the news later on, or replayed in later on further down the line, or in archives to be shown again years from now.
I'm very far from your traditional royalist too, but this can't be denied. Whether we agree with it or not.
Youtube is the first thing that anyone outside UK will go to for watching this, easily.
Why would people watch something on YouTube when they could just turn their TV on?
Being televised isn't the same as being watched.
Also walking around the roundabout and not a single one walks too much to the right - all just aligned near as well perfectly.
Viewing figures for the royal wedding for William was 162m globally, not including the UK. Don't know why people so vehemently deny a lot of people like these things.
I meant for those outside the UK, the comment I was replying to was about 'the entire world watching this'. It isn't.
Yeah it's weird, just can't believe she's dead, really. She was only 96.
Aye. I mean they probably understand it’s the procession and history people want to capture but many lose sight of the actual meaning here which is sad.
Not sure what that has to do with this ceremony.
Poor horses.
I don't understand. Can you not salute if you aren't in uniform?
Strange hill to die on and odd to take issue with what he posted tbh
Well it was on two Icelandic channels.
Her Majesty was just getting into streaming
It's on every major news channel in the US as an example: " All of the major U.S. channels—including PBS, BBC America, ABC, NBC News, NBC News Now, CBS, Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN—will begin their live coverage of the funeral between 3 a.m. and 5.30 a.m. the morning of the funeral. "
Well, it's inaccurate.
Do you know what time it is there right now?
I tuned in CBC News Network for their part of the funeral and I just realized that Dan Snow - the historian is part of the team describing the funeral.
It’s almost a mile long according to the BBC
Probably a lot of those were within the Anglosphere though. A lot of Yanks love this stuff.
This will likely be bigger than the wedding. My point is there will likely be more viewers globally than 162 million.
It is on 4 of our 5 channels here in Australia. Which seems excessive.
Not really that much.
Over 1.5m on those alone.
I'm watching on Sky Sports Main Event for no other reason than that was the channel I had my tv set to last night when I went to bed.
it's not just a funeral though is it? it's primarily a state event. that kind of behavior has been primed for the past ten days with the non-stop media coverage. it's close to what they would have wanted, i think. the emphasis is very much on event here. the more people for some reason attracted to it, the better in their eyes.
well synchronized. it's here that you see the appeal of nationalism in the modern age. the idea of the whole crowd moving as one though entirely impersonal, each to each, for the most part. lot of planning, obviously, but they've had years to revise and much practice in-between.
Youtube is the entire world?
So because it's early people would prefer to use YouTube than turn their TV on if they wanted to watch it?
A lot of people will be watching, but a lot of countries won't give a shit. So it's fair to say that the eyes of the entire world aren't glued to this funeral. though I'm sure the pallbearers are doing a swell job
Or, they are just sleeping and not watching it at all.
This commentary adds nothing, shut the feck up.
You are not supposed to.
i can’t help but watch all the grandeur, pomp and circumstance and think ‘which of the lesser royals i’d most like to bump uglies with?’
