Everyone knows viewership numbers mean nothing.
How do they get viewership numbers?
Are "they" able to now ping TV sets, or is it still done by calling people and asking what they're watching?Maybe the methods are secret and proprietary?
I watched more of the funeral last night via YouTube. Just extraordinary in all respects, a most beautiful tribute to hereditary privilege in a country where she set the standard for behavior.
It is indeed sad for everyone, as we lose contact with those who were there, in WWII and before, and the wisdom garnered. -

Does it really matter what the viewing numbers are?
Idle curiosity. Not everything one wonders about has to matter per se.

Since people have been talking about little else for quite some time, at least at some point, I'd guess the viewing figures were pretty high.
I bet Trump is pissed. He might fake his own death just to get back some attention.

Then on the third day after stage and reappear in a return from the grave rally for all to see and marvel.

A good point, and QE2 was unique being a leader who had served during the last world war and learned directly from those involved in both world wars, even the Boer War (Churchill).
I've heard HM described as a 'Golden link', back to a time before living memory (if that makes sense).There must still be thousands around the world who served in WW2, but all now over 90 years old?

Sure you're not paying him rent?
How else could Trump appear in a QE funeral thread?
