According to the Daily Star on September 15, 2022, more than 4 billion people are expected to watch the Queen's state funeral next Monday.

Ceremony will be held at Westminster Abbey . "The world loves and admires Queen Elizabeth II, and her funeral will surely become the largest live TV event in history." The last time people who watched such a grand occasion no longer exist. People around the world have never seen such a grand occasion.
During the state funeral, the whole UK will be on holiday, so that more people can watch the live funeral broadcast during public holidays. Before the state funeral was held on Monday, people could go to Westminster Hall to pay homage to the queen, and it is officially estimated that nearly 500,000 tourists will personally visit the queen's coffin. The coffin will be parked in Westminster for 5 days.
This Wednesday, senior royal members gathered together, accompanying the Queen with solemn and sad expressions to the last journey from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Grand 4 Hall.
