On his time in London, the prime minister said: “The queues of British citizens and other visitors who want to pay tribute and want to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth was very momentous and you could feel the raw emotion in Westminster Hall.” “King Charles, of course, has not just lost a sovereign and a head of state, for King Charles the loss of his mother is very personal and comes so soon after the loss of his father.”

As the Commonwealth prepares to farewell Queen Elizabeth II in London, here is when and how to watch the memorial service on TV tonight.

The ABC will begin its live coverage from 4pm, switching at 5pm to the BBC’s coverage of official dignitaries arriving. The hearse will reach Windsor at 3pm (12am AEST) and join a procession to St George’s Chapel, where a smaller committal service will be held to lower the coffin into the royal vault. At 12.15pm (9.15pm AEST) a procession will carry the Queen’s coffin out of Westminster Abbey, through London, past Buckingham Palace to Wellington Arch, where it will be transferred to a hearse. The Queen will be buried with her late husband, Prince Philip. At 6.30am London time (3.30pm AEST), the final members of the public will be admitted to see the Queen’s coffin and the lying in state period will come to an end. The service will be conducted by the Dean of Westminster, David Hoyle, with scripture passages read by the UK prime minister, Liz Truss, and the secretary general of the Commonwealth, Patricia Scotland.

Behind all the talk of ancient rituals and some of the more fawning media coverage since the Queen's passing, another seamless operation has been underway, ...

Partly, that's probably because the incumbent Conservative government has been deeply divided. "This is quite a risky time. "It will just take some time for everyone to adjust. The King was even briefly heckled by a protester about the expense of his "parade" in Wales and the cost of living, when he visited on Friday. "As a single event … "That is quite clearly a PR exercise, and much of the media in this country is going along with it."

The BBC credits Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953 as the "event that did more than any other to make television a mainstream medium."

Thompson agreed: "I don't think the funeral will be the last great global event of the television era," he said. This helped reenforce the Brits in their view that TV should continue to be government sponsored and paid for by taxes on the TV set and turned them away from considering the commercial model for TV like ours." "I don't think the Queen's send off will mark the medium's swan song," Doherty said. The identity and positioning of the monarchy is a lot different than it was less than a decade after the Second World War, and the menu of things to which people could pay attention was a lot, lot smaller then." That had a profound effect on the way TV developed in Britain versus America, according to Doherty. Robert Thompson, a professor of media and popular culture at Syracuse University thinks the time difference is enough to affect Monday's audience size. During the queen's inauguration in 1953, Americans could only get full coverage on a delayed basis. Its coverage will include the funeral and committal services. and the glue for postwar British culture," said Thomas Doherty, a media and cultural historian at Brandeis University. Audience predictions for the US are a more complicated matter thanks in part to the time difference of five hours between the UK and America's Eastern Time Zone. Now, the divide between social media and television in the immediate wake of the queen's death has highlighted the way new media are changing the culture. The social media narrative challenged and perhaps even altered the one initially featured on TV.
