Watch moments from the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II

A peak audience of around 28 million viewers watched the Queen's funeral in the UK on Monday, making it one of the country's biggest ever TV events.

More than 50 UK channels broadcast the service, as the nation paused to pay a final farewell to Queen Elizabeth II.

The overall audience peaked at 12:25 BST, as her coffin was carried through the streets from Westminster Abbey.

Around 20 million people watched on BBC One at that time, while ITV's audience numbers peaked at 5.3 million.

The overnight figures from ratings body Barb do not include all viewers watching through streaming apps like BBC iPlayer and ITV Player, or those who saw it on big screens outdoors or in cinemas, churches or pubs.
