On Monday, Sept. 19th, there will be a meeting. More than half of the world's population is expected to watch the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. The longest-serving monarch in the history of the United Kingdom, and one of the world's most well-known and well-liked celebrities, passed away on September 8.
The UK government formulated a plan years in advance and called it "Operation London Bridge." The project began with an orderly announcement of Elizabeth II's death and ended with her carefully orchestrated state funeral and broadcast instructions.
As this funeral unfolds, we will see the full effect of the operation. You can grieve if you feel that way, or you can watch this unique moment in history.
In the lead up to the funeral, the Queen is lying in state in London's Westminster Hall, and mourners may file past and pay their respects if they are willing and able to line up in the ultimate queue. Anyone can watch this part of the national grieving process on the internet.
The casket will be taken to the abbey by a procession. The sun rises at 5::44 a.m. For those who don't want to miss anything, that's the best time to watch.
No U.S. network has exclusive broadcast rights. NBC, CNN, ABC, and Fox News will broadcast the funeral. Turn on your TV at 5:44 a.m. if you have an antenna. The funeral will be there if you locate one of these channels.
Sky News in the UK will show it.
If you don't have an antenna or pay TV, you can watch the funeral live on the CNN website.
Some of the YouTube live streams may not be made public until Monday. To find them, you can perform a search for "Queen's funeral", click "Filters" and then "live" under "FEATURES." Live streams of the Queen lying in state will most likely be streamed by reliable news outlets.
According to the Washington Post, there will be as many as 70 heads of state in attendance, two million members of the public lining the streets, and 10,000 police officers and private security agents standing guard.
If you are not invited to the funeral, you can go to a movie theater and watch it with other people. The majority of the movie theaters in the UK will be closed. There will be a giant screen playing the funeral at Hyde Park. There are reports that other parks and public places will show the funeral on big screens.
The funeral ceremony will last an hour, and will conclude with the playing of the bugle composition "last post." After the funeral, a private service for the Royal Family will be held at Windsor Castle, where the Queen will be buried.
