You really believe 3-4 billion people are watching this?? Think the rest of the world has more pressing issues today than this.

Globally, it will be the most watched televised event of the century so far.

That procession was glorious wow

I’ve been ok up until that procession. Never seen anything like that in my lifetime and I’ll admit I was in tears . Brings back memories of my mum who would have loved this . God I love this country .

I couldn’t even begin to imagine what it'd cost to build a replica of Westminster Abbey today. I'm not talking about a DH Gate replica now, I'm talking a carbon copy of the abbey, down to the last candlestick. It'd be frightening. Same with the Palace of Westminster, St Paul's etc etc. There's some stunning architecture in London.

There's been a church on that site from around 900AD

Henry III rebuilt what we know as Westminster Abbey in the 13th century. He almost bankrupt the county building it. Around £2M and it took 27 years to build

Probably more than that will see some of it I reckon, its a world event.

Some people can't see it can they? Denying everything in front of them because it doesn't support their narrative.

Instead of just enjoying the pomp.

Watching this in awe to one of the last great human beings to have graced this little earth. As time passes i think we shall really never see anything like it ever again. A true sad day.

How has prince Edward stayed out of the limelight over the years!

His wife app was very close to the queen and they are a very private family same as Peter Phillips

There’s still 5 billion not watching it so it’s not that far fetched.

Thought the sermon from the Archbishop was very poignant.
Well done

For most of the world it’s just another Monday so I would be surprised if a very large number of people didn’t at least have a look, maybe whilst at work or at home.

Probably won't be surpassed for many years, if at all.

So proud of the way we are saying goodbye to a truly great woman.
