Millions around the world tuned in to watch Queen Elizabeth II's funeral and many found the service emotional and moving. However, one TV presenter believes the coverage missed one key moment.
Former This Morning and now GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes had been discussing the state funeral of the late monarch, which was televised live on Monday. He recalled how one moment in the service had been ruined as the camera cut away during the significant moment of Queen Elizabeth II's coffin being lowered to the ground.
He said he felt "cheated" as he spoke to the former royal correspondent, Nicholas Owens on his morning show, Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel. He said: "Was it just me? There was that beautiful moment in St George's Chapel, when the coffin was descending into the ground and everybody was watching like, 'Gosh, what happens next?'

"And it goes down, down, down and then we cut to the piper, and when we come back to the chapel, the coffin was gone. I felt a bit cheated by that."
Royal expert Nicholas explained that more was shown of the Queen's coffin being lowered than was shown of the Queen's husband Prince Philip. He said: "At the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral, I think the instruction must have gone out that we saw the coffin, then there was pictures - awful pictures we all remember of Her Majesty The Queen on her own with a mask and nobody with her, that was so, so heartbreaking, wasn't it?"
"When we next saw the chapel, the coffin had gone. And I thought, 'What? What happened to that? Where did it go? This time we got not long - they didn't linger on it very long, but just enough to see it descend."
The BBC coverage of the funeral was fronted by Welsh presenter Huw Edwards who has been praised for his outstanding reporting since the Queen died.
