Children's Channels CBBC and CBeebies stuck with their usual programmes, while Channel 5 broadcast the Emoji Movie and Stuart Little - Drawing both criticism and praise from parents online.

Channel 4 chose to broadcast The Queen 's coronation from 1953 and other royal documentaries.

Most commercial Channels did not air adverts on The Day , meaning the increased viewing did not result in a financial benefit.

The Bbc 's coverage of The Funeral and processions through London was anchored by Huw Edwards , with David Dimbleby Taking Over when The Cortege reached Windsor for a later committal service.

Dimbleby was following in the footsteps of his father Richard, who played a similar on-air role at The Funeral of George Vi in 1952 and The Queen 's coronation The Following year.

" This Was a reminder Once Again of what quality national broadcasters we have, " " From Fergal Keane 's gentle, poetic voiceover to Alastair Bruce's wealth of knowledge on Sky News , none of them messed up or misspoke despite the huge potential to do so during such a long, nerve-racking live event. "

Many observers commended the commentators for knowing when To Let the pictures and sounds of the occasion tell The Story .

" The Funeral of Queen Elizabeth Ii was at its most poignant, and its most beautiful, when the broadcasters said nothing at all, "

Hundreds of millions more are likely to have watched around The World , with Piers Morgan providing commentary on Fox News in the US and Christiane Amanpour among the line-up on Cnn .
