Does someone know if the Serafimerringning will be broadcasted?

I know that ABC will be covering it as David Muir has mentioned it several times when doing stories about Philip on the nightly news. I personally will be watching it on the BBC News Channel carried by my satellite company.

Thanks ! The newspapers will print a schedule as well get closer, so I’ll be able to decide then which network I’ll watch.

I'm sorry if it's been posted before:

I admit initially I avoided it because the title (and it's Mail+), but a friend managed to force me to read it and ... fine, it's Gyles Brandreth and it's said to be an authorised biography so let's give it a go.

Thanks for sharing this! The author of this biography knew Prince Philip for 40 years and PP read the book twice before it is published later this month. It looks fascinating and I hope will be available in the US for those of us living in the States.

Perhaps the Swedish Royal Court will publish a video of the Seraphim Toll for prince Philip at its Youtube Channel, as they did on 5th December 2020, when a Seraphim Toll was rung in the Riddarholmen Church for former President of the French Republic Valéry Giscard d'Estaing.

You have my sympathy, Soapstar. I will be burying my own father this Saturday as well, but we will not have to worry about any Covid restrictions. I cannot imagine having to try and do what you and the Royal Family are doing at this time and restrict guest lists so severely that you have to choose which members of your family can go. It just adds an additional element of awefulness to an already awful situation.

I'm very sorry for your loss

I wish I had an answer for you but I actually was wondering the same thing about the US. Anyone know what network we might be able to watch it on?

Don't know how to multi qoute, but I can now see in the tvguide that it has been updated and that the funeral WILL in fact be televised on danish tv.

Thanks to those of you who replied:)

The first one of the Queen's was last Saturday - the day after Philip died. It was an audience, via phone, with Boris Johnson which I suspect was to discuss the funeral arrangements and would have been when Johnson told her that he wouldn't be taking up a place so another family member could attend. Of course they may have discussed a whole range of other issues and not discussed anything to do with Philip ... I am simply surmising and guessing ...
 
I ran across this post on IG this morning and thought it was lovely. It really sounds exactly like the man behind the image that I always sort of pictured when I thought of who the late DoE really was. The account isn’t famous or official or a member of the family so I hope it’s okay to post. But I found both the picture and the story heartwarming and thought you all might, too.

I understand that the funeral will be televised on BBC One, among other channels, but is it me or has the BBC not yet updated their BBC One schedule for Saturday April 17th?

I (still) see a snooker championship to be broadcast...
 
I keep checking my UK TV Guide and the BBC hasn't updated its guide. The TV guide in Australia didn't update until Wednesday evening so maybe the BBC will do so on Wednesday as well. I have access to the UK terrestrial TV via Transponder TV and have been checking regularly on this issue.

Yes they don't seem to have updated it yet. It is on ITV1's official schedule.
 
ITV’s funeral coverage is from 1.30-4.30 so I would expect BBC1 to be similar.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to allow you to see it if you don't have an Instagram account; nor Eugenie's, even when I checked her account.

Here is Philip with butterflies. https://greatfon.com/c/9633181005273279452

Eugenie has posted a tribute to her grandfather and, fair warning, grab a tissue. It’s lovely but definitely made me teary.

That was so beautiful ...I teared up. ???

The official Royal Twitter posted a speech that DoE gave about issues using different technologies...??? it sounds like me!



There seems to be one general characteristic among the designers of electrical equipment. My impression is that they must get some sort of kick out of hiding the ‘on/off’ switch. They sometimes go further and mark the switch ‘PWR’, which I had come to believe stood for Pressurised Water Reactor. For example, only experience will help you find that elusive switch on a television set. You have to stub your finger all along the bottom frame of the set till you find a cunningly concealed section, which gives way when you press it and the little red light comes on. Things have got a bit easier with remote controllers; that is if you can find it after the last user has left it under the settee. Even then, you have to recognise the difference between the terrestrial, satellite and video controllers, each of which, in any case, looks like a simplified version of the Rosetta Stone and needs about the same degree of de-cyphering talent.

No, they haven't! Sky have, but the other channels haven't.

Since many of you are unable to use the IG link, here’s the story the caption came from.
