The Queen’s State Funeral – 4.1 billion people around the world are watching UK TV stations, but it’s really drama

Queen Elizabeth II died, and the British royal family held a state funeral on Monday to say goodbye to a generation of queens. According to data from various organizations, it is estimated that around 4.1 billion people around the world will watch the funeral, which is almost half of the world’s population. That’s no worse than the audience of 2.5 billion for Diana’s funeral in 1997.

Of course, the British people want to watch the Queen’s final journey even more. The local free-to-air TV stations BBC and ITV are both broadcasting the whole process live on Monday morning, and Channel 4 is broadcasting a documentary of the Queen’s life. And in fact the fifth channel, owned by Paramount, chose to broadcast the film, because the series has nothing to do with the queen and the royal family.

Answer: The 2017 movie “Emoji Adventure”.

It’s not a good idea, but this move has become a hot topic on the Internet. Some netizens said that even if they watched the Queen’s funeral, there was no way to think of “Emoji Adventure”.

However, according to foreign media reports, Channel 5 will broadcast a program suitable for children on Monday morning, and the films Thomas Locomotive and Paddington Bear have been broadcast in the same time slot. In addition to the fact that the Queen’s State Funeral Day is a national holiday in the UK, the broadcast of “Emoji Adventure” appears to give parents who do not subscribe to streaming platforms one more programming option.
