Here is an interesting video from King Juan Carlos State Visit in 1986, from Foro Dinastias:

Thanks ANNIE_S! I've seen several of these videos in the ITN SOURCE archive, but most of them were removed two years ago.
What will be interesting to see (which was also discussed in the beginnig of this thread) is the British media coverage.
Getty Images will of course publish many videos and pictures, ITN SOURCE will also publish some videos, Daily Fail vill publish articles with many pictures and we may see some clips on BBC One/ITV television news.
But the big question (to me) is whether BBC News Channel (Launched 1997) and Sky News (Launched 1989) will have live coverage.
Coverage by BBC News Channel and Sky News on previous state visits:
State Visit from Japan in May 1998: Live coverage from the carriage procession, the state banquet and other events.
State visit from China in October 1999: Live coverage from the carriage procession, the state banquet and other events.
State visit from the United States in November 2003: Live coverage from the arrival at Buckingham Palace, the state banquet and other events.
State visit from China in November 2005: Live coverage from the carriage procession, the state banquet and other events.
State visit from the United States in May 2011: Live coverage from the arrival at Buckingham Palace, the state banquet and other events.
State Visit from Ireland in April 2014: Live coverage from the carriage procession, the state banquet and other events.
State visit from China in October 2015: Live coverage from the carriage procession, the state banquet and other events.
There was also live coverage on the Internet for the American, Irish and Chinese state visits in 2011, 2014 and 2015.
Other state visits: Nothing, and I think (unfortunately) that BBC/Sky will not see Spain as important enough to have live coverage.
And how will the Spanish media coverage be when King Felipe and Queen Letizia meets the most popular, iconic, longest-reigning and most famous head of state in the world (Queen of 16 countries and figurehead of 2 billion people)? Maybe some of the Spanish posters here can answer.
When the Norwegian royal family visited the UK in 2005, the Norwegian media coverage was very large. And when the Queen has been on commonwealth/state visits, the media coverage in the host countries have been very large.
