It is estimated that around 2.5 billion in over 180 countries will tune in to coverage of Princess Diana’s funeral on Saturday morning.
The BBC’s output, which will begin at 9:30am and last until the early evening, is expected to be anchored by Martin Lewis, David Dimbleby and Jennie Bond. ITV’s coverage will also begin at 9:30am, with Dermot Murnaghan, Julia Somerville and Nicholas Owen set to cover events. Channel 5 will not have any commentary from Westminster Abbey but will broadcast pictures of the service.
Diana and Charles’s wedding in 1981 attracted 200 million viewers worldwide.
