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. -

I am a little curious about how many people in India watched it?
The one thing that helped for viewing numbers is the timing. For the largest groups of the world population, it was on at a reasonable time.
Does it really matter what the viewing numbers are?
This isn't new, this is everything on television. Go to any broadcast or cable station and talk to them about buying an ad spot. They'll boast exposure numbers in anywhere between 6 or 8 digits. But what they don't tell you, which everyone should already know, is that these numbers are almost exclusively in bars, doctor's offices, the tech sections of Wal-Marts, etc., etc. So congratulations, you've purchased ad space for the most checked out and inattentive "audience" imaginable and you wasted your money.
Everyone knows viewership numbers mean nothing.

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.

@Renauda
Which no one would attend, being busy watching YouTube reruns of the Queen's funeral. -

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?

Well there might be a couple or three attendees.
I’m sure I saw a few.

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