Only 29.2 million UK viewers? Her Late Majesty will be turning in her tomb at this terrible slight.
20m of which were on BBC. Seems stories of its demise are as premature as the royal family’s,Only 29.2 million UK viewers? Her Late Majesty will be turning in her tomb at this terrible slight.
I didn't read what the journalists wrote but I did hear on the radio that those figures don't include anyone watching via any other medium than tv, example being me, I sat and watched the whole thing on my laptop, the tv never got switched on.
So 62% of the world's population didn't congregate round their TV sets after all?Shush. This is a fact free zone. We'll have none of that talking sense in here. ;)
Here’s a park in Edinburgh, described by a BBC Scotland journalist as being attended by “tens of thousands.”
It was described as several thousand by the journalist rather than tens of. The bbc website goes with the more accurate estimate of hundreds.
I think you know yourself that isn’t a representative photo though.
Thanks for that,The Queen's funeral watched by 28 million viewers in UK
The audience peaked during the procession after her coffin had been carried out of Westminster Abbey.www.google.comMore than 29m people in UK watched Queen’s funeral, TV data shows
Figure is fewer than 31m who watched Euro 2020 final, and peaked at 19.5m viewers on BBC Onewww.theguardian.com
Around 3 billion wouldn't be too shabby, if the rest did.So 62% of the world's population didn't congregate round their TV sets after all?
Who'd have thought it ;-)
I nicked both the photo and the quote from a more sceptical journalist on Twitter, so I’ve no idea really. It just made me chuckle. As did the photo of all the sex channels on Sky like Babestation clearing their schedule for the funeral. But I didn’t copy that one.
