Victoria Arbiter was right about the US Channels going live for the DoE.

Very moving. Cried the whole time.

[Curryong]

That was indeed a very moving service with many notable moments. A sad but historic day. I was especially sorry to see the Queen looking quite frail at first. Before she left apparently she spoke to the Dean of Windsor, her friend and to Philip?s German relatives.

[wannable]

What a beautiful funeral service.  Undoubtedly the BRF are the best in (pomp) and ceremony.

[PrincessOfPeace]

In recognition of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburghs life of service and heartfelt connection with Canada, Richard Wagner, Chief Justice of Canada and Administrator of the Government of Canada, signed a Proclamation declaring April 17, 2021, a National Day of Mourning.

William and Harry had a little chat as they walked.

[Blue Clover]

Thank you for creating this thread. The service was moving and emotional. I am happy the family was united in their grief, there to support he Queen.

America's fascination with @royalfamily undiminished. EVERY main US News network covered #PrincePhilipfuneral from start to finish and general satisfaction that William & Harry chatted as they left the Chapel.

****
The BRF let in every station worldwide to go live for free, including newspaper media.  The most watched live according to numbers, from newspaper media was the Daily Mail, followed by The Sun and The Telegraph close 3rd position.  TV Stations in the UK was the BBC, since they had a host of royal experts; Huw Edwards, Sir David Attenborough, Baroness Scotland, Alan Titchmarsh, and Baroness Grey-Thompson, JJ Chalmers and Sophie Raworth.

6am start here for me but I had to be up to watch. Truly a sad but beautiful tribute to a wonderful consort. He will be missed greatly.   :cry:

The carriage with his riding crop and hat, with his beloved fell ponies, for me was the most poignant image. Outside his family.

Happy to see that Tim was included in the processional with his brother in laws and nephews.

Like many of you I was up early to watch the broadcast. @Curryong -What time did it air in Australia?

Started on my computer with the BBC feed for the parade and music prior to the service. Later I switched to Sky News' coverage. (I tried NBC but I found the commentary too distracting.) I'll admit when I saw the carriage with the hat, whip, blanket and sugar cubes, I had a little lump in my throat. When the hearse came into the Castle grounds, then the lump became some tears. The sight carried me back to funerals that I've attended over my lifetime especially those for Naval veterans.  Even though the scale was smaller, it was a grand and moving ceremony today at Windsor Castle.

The music was spectacular IMO and the absence of a full choir and additional instrumentalists inside SGC were not a detriment. It honestly gave it a sound that seemed more in keeping with Orthodox services that I've attended.

It was especially moving to see HM the Queen there though I was not happy that cameras did focus on her now and then. I was pleased that the family had privacy as the Duke's casket was lowered into the Royal Vault. My husband was watching with me and were were chatting about our visit to WC and SGC four years ago.

It was good to see a more casual time with the BRF as they followed the Queen's car back towards the private apartments at WC.

[Curryong]

It aired very late here in Australia. AFL Football is very important in States where it?s played, including Victoria and the match ended about 10:35 pm. We started watching from then on. The troops assembling etc took about an hour, then the royal family appeared.

I suppose it was almost midnight when the actual funeral began. I haven?t seen the viewing figures yet but due to the lateness of it all and other reasons I don?t expect huge numbers. However, most of it will be shown today (it?s now 8am on Sunday) and so those that want to will be able to catch up and view it. 

The service was of course meticulous, moving and at times very sad. The Queen sat alone with her head down more or less throughout. She must have felt numb with grief. The buglers and Scottish bagpiper added to the solemnity of it all I thought, and it was nice that the members of the RF all decided to walk together back from the Chapel. I was surprised that the Duke being lowered into the vault beneath was televised.

[TudorQueen]

There was also a memorial here in Canada for Philip. A video for anyone who wishes to see it.

Channel 7 won the ratings here, for Prince Philip?s funeral after the footy, with an audience of 430,000. Not bad but nothing like it would have been had it been shown during the day. (We watched it and switched off at just after one am. And most of the audience would have been aged 50 and over.)

Weekend TV Ratings Saturday April 17, 2021 - Mediaweek

[wannable]

13million UK viewers tuned in to watch Prince Philip's funeral - 2m more than Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview- as BBC wins ratings war over ITV

The BBC's live coverage - fronted by Huw Edwards - had 11.4 million viewers at its peak, with an average of 6.6 million. ITV had a peak viewership of 1.2 million.

[TLLK]

@wannable-Good to see that so many in the UK chose to watch his funeral. I'd read that nearly one quarter of the current British population had met the Duke of Edinburgh in their lifetime which is astonishing to me.

[wannable]

Yes, the stat also is a relief that the British people prefer the serious royal expert line up prepared by the BBC.  The difference in rating/numbers is a total victory, which means also to the Monarchy.

Bradby ITV is not a royal expert.

I wonder if the USA ratings were to prefer watching the free viewing from the Royal Family channel? The USA line up was gossip girl type, from disrespectful to appalling comments from Gayle CBS and Omid ABC, because we are respecting the time period of grief, I will not comment here, just read it in twitter the Gayle or Omid reporting quotes and replies, some of their supporters quit/unfollowed instantly yesterday. Not one hired a royal expert as in previous i.e. William and Catherine's wedding, the networks worldwide hired royal rota.
