Monday 19 September 2022 02:41 PM The day Britain came to a standstill for Queen's funeral trends now
Britain ground to a halt today as millions gathered together to watch the Queen's funeral and bid her a final farewell in pubs, cares homes and airports.
Mourners stopped in the street to watch the event on their phones as the solemn display of reverence was demonstrated across the nation.
Hundreds of thousands watched as the historic funeral was broadcast on large outdoor screens in various locations across the UK — from London's Hyde Park to Coleraine Town Hall in Northern Ireland.
The congregation attending her funeral at Westminster Abbey, including King Charles, the Royal Family and 2,000 VIPs including emperors, kings and queens, prime ministers and presidents from around the world, bowed their heads during the silence.
Crowds along the Long Walk in Windsor and those gathered in public parks, city centres and Government buildings also fell silent.
The funeral, which was been dubbed the most-watched event in history, was viewed by an estimated 4.1billion people worldwide.
