Which TV channel are you watching re Queen/King Charles?

I am watching on BBC.

I have watched the main bits, and am keen to see the Declaration, first time we are allowed to see it.

It’s a historic day. But I enjoy many Royal documentaries, I find the monarchy very interesting.

I only have the free view channels, but I read a book if I am fed up with what’s on.

As an aside, my DD lives in Australia. She, too, is keen on the monarchy, and I think it is great that she, on the other side of the world, is watching these events same time as me, (time differences allowing of course).

It brings us close together, a shared interest, and I love that.

I too am totally fed up with it. I would like to get a half hour update once a day just so I know what's going on but all this drivel from reporters repeating themselves is too much so I turn off.
It's not like there is anything new to say about their lives it has all been said over and over in documentaries for years.

Fanny was harking back to the divine right of kings. It’s the name ‘Charles’ wot did it.

We aren’t watching the wall to wall coverage. Lucky to have many other channels instead. I listen to talk radio on my travels so get the news from there. I enjoyed the Kings address last night. I read the news online.

None. Glad to see I'm not alone.

Glad to see that after 36 hours of emotion, affection for the late Queen, sympathy etc, normal grumpy service has been resumed as soon as possible

I think that's what happens when no one has worked out what the public mood would be. Obviously a difficult task.

Sky News - I love the pomp and ceremony attached to these events and will watch every detail ??

Boris Johnson and Gordon Brown look to be having a jolly chat together.

Nice to see.

was thinking I was the only one! TV has constant coverage and even local radio are desperately trying to find someone with even the remotest connection to the Queen to interview. I have the greatest respect for her but, as she herself proved on occasions, life must go on.

Is there no other news? Has Putin withdrawn from Ukraine, is China no longer threatening Taiwan, has the cost of living crisis been resolved, have energy prices fallen.
We are watching recordings even our local news is off ,they always go overboard ,we don't want to listen to all and sundry who met her ,I feel for people who have lost someone or the ones living with only the 4 channels .

Sorry old woman 70 don't know what happened ,first half of my post was a quote from your post we have been saying the same thing.

Nice to see.

Interesting watching the body language!. Tony Blair and Gordon Brown with their backs firmly to each other!

Penny Mordaunt also very good, clear speaker.

Lots of lengthy words to get her tongue round.

She would have made a good PM. Perhaps will one day.

I agree, maybe next time?

David Cameron and Boris were very similar from what I saw.

I agree too. I think she's very impressive and was sorry she was knocked out of the race for PM. Liz Truss gave her a role though so probably recognised her worth. She's very beautiful too which is unusual in a politician!

I've watched very little. I dipped in and out on Thursday when it was so sadly clear that she was dying but presenters struggling to deal with sparse news didn't make for riveting TV, in fact I felt very sorry for them.

Yesterday I watched Charles' speech and most of the St Paul's service, and later, the BBC tribute programme which had so obviously been recorded earlier this year in preparation for this moment. I felt sorry for the family members who contributed who had had to put on mourning and talk about their mother in the past tense. But I suppose they were pragmatic enough to know that it had to be done.

I shall watch the Proclamation and then that's me done until the funeral. Unless some channel puts together a lovely programme about the Queen and her horses...

Obviously this moment has been planned for for a long time and the planners have failed to realise that we have moved on and, much as we are very sad that the Queen has died we're not going to go into deep mourning for her to the exclusion of all else. One programme a day from each channel would be quite enough, I think.

For those who are wondering about Ukraine, I've been following updates on Twitter and they seem to be pursuing a successful offensive operation towards Kharkiv. Not meeting a great deal of opposition from the Russians. Lots of lovely video clips of the Ukranian forces being greeted in liberated towns and villages. I'm so pleased for them. Long may it continue.

Oh dear too many ink wells for the King to deal with ✒

Penny Mordaunt has a good speaking voice and presence - very impressive.

Bozzer must be sick at not being on top table - all that history being made and he's only on the sidelines.

The Archbishop of Canterbury seemed not to know where to sign!

Watching Sky News. Even though I feel that parliament needs dragging into the modern age I love the pomp and ceremony of all this. The fact that we’re watching history being made and are, in our small way, part of it.

Not watching any of it except occasional news updates. I tried watching The Capture on i-player but it's totally confusing. My DS says they are not showing any comedy programmes because the country is in mourning. Personally I think a couple of funny episodes of something would be quite nice.

I was terrified that someone (Camilla)? might knock some ink over, she looked a bit nervous, bet her hand was shaking and her heart thumping.

What would you say if you spilt ink on the paperwork?

“Sorry, can we have another sheet of paper please?”

Must be hard doing a decent signature standing up, be easier sitting down.

Sorry but i will not be watching
