A massive two gigawatt power drop - the equivalent of 200 million lightbulbs being turned off - was reported as millions of people switched from what they were doing to watch the Queen's funeral today.
Energy usage gradually increased by another 500 megawatts over the course of the ceremony as people started to resume their normal activities - such as putting on the kettle, according to the National Grid.
But, during the two-minute silence, energy levels plummeted again, by 500 megawatts, as people stopped what they were doing.
