The funeral service for Queen Elizabeth II — who died Sept. 8 after 70 years on the British throne — was held at Westminster Abbey and was televised to many countries around 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.
