More than 29m people in UK watched Queen’s funeral, TV data shows

Figure is fewer than 31m who watched Euro 2020 final, and peaked at 19.5m viewers on BBC One

The Queen's funeral service in Westminster Abbey was watched by 29.2 million people on television in the UK, according to official audience data.

Despite the enormous interest, the commemoration of Queen Elizabeth II did not meet predictions of becoming the most-watched broadcast in British television history. Less than half the UK population watched the live television broadcast - fewer than the 31 million who watched the climax of England's Euro 2020 final defeat against Italy.
