On Monday,mexicano sex videos Sept. 19, at 11 a.m. BST, it’s been forecast that 4.1 billion people — more than half  of the global population — will watch the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen died on Sept. 8 after becoming the longest-serving monarch in the history of the United Kingdom, and one of the world’s most well-known, and well-liked (though not universallyliked), celebrities.

How to watch the Queen lie in state

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, assuming they’re willing and able to line up in the ultimate queue — a 22-hour wait involving a five mile walk, as of this writing. Anyone, however, can livestream this part of the national grieving process on the BBC News YouTube channel.

If you have an antenna, or subscribe to pay TV, turn your TV on at 5:44 a.m. ET, find one of these channels, and the funeral will be there.

For those without pay TV or an antenna, officially announced livestreams of the funeral include BBC iPlayer in the UK, and in the US, a live stream on the CNN website that will not require users to log in through a cable provider. 

There will also undoubtedly be YouTube live streams, some of which may not be announced until Monday. These can be found by performing a search for “Queen’s funeral,” clicking “Filters,” and then clicking “Live” under “FEATURES.” It stands to reason that reliable news outlets like the BBC that hosted live streams of the Queen lying in state will most likely also livestream the funeral itself.

How to watch the Queen’s funeral in London

The funeral ceremony will be conducted at Westminster Abbey, with, according to the Washington Post, as many as 70 heads of state in attendance, two million members of the public lining the streets, and 10,000 police officers and some unknown number of private security agents standing guard — not to mention snipers on top of buildings, drones buzzing around, trained dogs sniffing for bombs, and undercover officers mingling with the crowds.

If you’re not comfortable lining the sidewalks near Westminster Abbey while the funeral goes on inside, one good way to “attend” the funeral with other Londoners, assuming you’re not invited, will be to find a movie theater. Most of the movie theaters in the UK will be closed, and many will be showing the funeral. You can also join the crowd at Hyde Park near Buckingham Palace, where there will be a giant screen playing the funeral. Most sources suggest other parks and public places will show the funeral on big screens as well, but those have not yet been announced.

The funeral ceremony will last an hour, and will conclude with the playing of the bugle composition “Last Post,” followed by the national observance of two minutes of silence. The evening following the funeral, a private service for the Royal Family will be held at Windsor Castle outside of London, after which the Queen will be laid to rest inside St. George’s Chapel, the church on the castle grounds.
