ITV's Queen's Funeral coverage to be the 'biggest outside broadcast' in its history

ITV will deliver the 'biggest outside broadcast' in its history for The Queen's funeral next week, with live coverage airing simultaneously on its main station and all digital channels.

It's now been four days since Her Majesty died peacefully aged 96 at her Scottish residence Balmoral. Since Queen Elizabeth II's passing, television schedules have been significantly altered to dedicate airtime to coverage of the events that followed including, King Charles III's first address to the nation as new monarch , his formal proclamation and The Queen's coffin's journey from Balmoral to Edinburgh on Sunday.

Whilst ITV was criticised for being 'slow to react' to news of the Queen's ailing health on Thursday, still showing shows like Loose Women and Tipping Point after it had been confirmed she was under medical supervision, it has aired extensive coverage since her death, including special episodes of Good Morning Britain on Saturday and Sunday, in a big break from tradition.
