The Queen’s Funeral
The Queen’s funeral took place on Monday in London’s Westminster Abbey. Roughly 2,000 guests attended the ceremony, and approximately 28 million viewers watched the funeral from the U.K., making it “one of the country’s biggest ever TV events,” the BBC reported.
The ceremony started at 12:15 BST, with the transport of the late monarch’s coffin through central London to the Wellington Arch. There, the coffin was moved into a state hearse and taken to St. George’s Chapel, where the queen was laid to rest alongside her husband, Prince Philip, who passed away in April 2021.
Writing about the funeral’s live coverage for the Daily Telegraph, Anita Singh said: “The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II was at its most poignant, and its most beautiful, when the broadcasters said nothing at all.”
