And honestly, I'm not sure which is worse. Channel 5 openly said they picked family movies to allow children to watch something instead of the funeral.

'Only' half the population of the UK watched her funeral, and they're saying more than an extra 2 billion people from around the world did? Nah Do they realise how big a number a billion is?! They probably went by the assumption of X country showed it on their national TV, X country has X population so add that to the total that watched.

The thing is as well is you won't have had to watch the full thing to have 'watched' it. Just a percentage. Loads of people will have watched it partially to be classed as seeing it. It'll be the same here with this I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll come up with an even more fanciful number because you can't have less people watching the Queen's funeral than Diana's. I'm going to guess they go with 3+ billion.

Of all the classic family movies though they've gone with one that's often been described in the "worst films of all time" category.

Mentioned it earlier, but it's because, when Queen Victoria died in 1901, the horses refused to be cooperative, so instead they had it pulled by the guards. It's then been done at every one since. This will be the 5th funeral its happened at including Victoria's. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
