Anyone watching QEII's funeral?

Mrs. George commented that it was probably cruel to have all those geezers (King Charles III, et al) walk so far for so long, LOL.

Cruel? Andrew should’ve been assigned the entire distance imo.

I heard a commentator say 5.1 billion people watched. 63% of the world's population. Don't know if that's accurate, but I wouldn't be surprised.
I saw lots of horse poop on the road; I even saw marchers stepping on it because they wanted to keep in step. That's dedication.

That number seems really high. I’m pretty sure that I have read that only 4.5 billion people even have access to the internet or tv, and I’m sure viewership wasn’t likely to be more than 60% in closely tied nations…. If there were more than 1.5 billion, I would be astonished.

@Friday My family will ask about the poop I’m sure. I heard on CNN some 4 billion were watching. Could this really be true?

That’s the report but I can’t believe it. You would need 90% of the accessible world to watch. Somehow I doubt that 1.2 billion Chinese watched the funeral…

I didn’t see one bit of horse crap in the footage I watched. Was any cleanup edited, or were the horses wearing diapers?

They probably used the same horses they used to use in John Wayne movies - "where seldom is heard a discouraging turd..."

@Friday 7.1 Billion.

Yes, it is accurate.
They use the same satellite technique that is used to estimate crowds on the Mall for a presidential inauguration.
Trust the science.
