WDIV's information is not accurate. I noticed that, too. They start out with EST than return to London time. The funeral service actually concludes at noon Eastern, so it is about an hour long.

Maybe Detroit is remembering their own Queen.

I'm pretty sure Aretha Franklin's funeral was 6 hrs. or longer.

eta

Describing the Queen Mother as "gracious," Turner went on to share the hilarious way Davis Jr. introduced Franklin. "But we also have royalty in America," the jazz legend began. "We have the Duke of Ellington, the Count of Bassey, and ladies and gentlemen I bring you the Queen of Soul."

As for Queen Elizabeth herself, she certainly didn't seem to bear any hard feelings over Franklin opting not to perform live for her. Upon Franklin's passing in 2018, the Changing of the Guard ceremony outside Buckingham Palace belted out a moving rendition of Franklin's mega-hit, "Respect." The late artist surely would have been honored.

:D LOL! I gave up after about 90 minutes of Aretha's funeral service, but I know it went on for several more hours.

On YouTube, BBC News Live will be streaming the funeral.

Start time says 3am.

Not sure why so early, unless they are announcing all 2,000 guests as they arrive.

We might get up around 5 am to make a cuppa and catch it all from there on.

If not, You Tube will likely keep it up for at least a few days or more.

BBC NEWS LIVE, You Tube.

I think that's 3:00 am your time? If you're in the Pacific time zone?
