Britain: Queen Elizabeth’s funeral live in 125 cinemas – Seats sold out

by

Giant screens have been set up in parks, squares and cathedrals to show the ceremony.

The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II will be shown on Monday in 125 cinemas across Britain, as announced yesterday Saturday by the British Ministry of Culture.

Entry to cinemas to watch the funeral is free, but most seats were already booked by Thursday.

At the same time, giant screens have been set up in parks, squares and cathedrals to show the ceremony.

The funeral at Westminster Abbey and the procession that follows will be broadcast live on the BBC, ITV and Sky networks.

Kings, heads of state and government, as well as other dignitaries from around the world will attend the funeral of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, who died on September 8 at the age of 96.

The government declared a public holiday on Monday for the funeral, which is expected to draw larger crowds than most major events in modern British history: the funeral of the late Princess Diana in 1997, the 2012 London Olympics or royal weddings .
