Bristol Airport to show Queen's funeral on screens throughout terminal

The Queen's funeral will be shown on screens at Bristol Airport. The event will be broadcast throughout the terminal for plane travellers and staff at the North Somerset airport today (September 19).

The Queen's funeral is taking place at Westminster Abbey at 11am this morning. It is thought that the funeral might end up becoming the most watched live television event in history.

The Queen's coffin, which has been walked past and grieved over by thousands of mourners over the last week, will be carried in a procession to Westminster Abbey at 10.44am before the state funeral begins at 11am. Hundreds of foreign dignitaries who attended a reception at Buckingham Palace hosted by King Charles last night (Sunday September 18) will be in attendance - including US President Joe Biden.
