Former world champion boxer Carl Froch believes that The Queen's funeral next week should be mandatory viewing for everyone in Britain, including children.
The legendary ex-fighter, who won world honours at super-middleweight during his professional career, retweeted a message from TV personality Ant Middleton that suggested mandating the viewing of the event. A national Bank Holiday has been declared next Monday, September 19, meaning that there will be an opportunity for almost all citizens to mourn the country's loss.
The BBC, ITV and Sky News will be leading the television coverage of the late monarch's funeral in the UK, with people across the UK paying tribute. The Queen passed away last Thursday at the age of 96, Buckingham Palace confirmed in a statement at the time.
