Heads Of State and Royalty, Presidents, Princes and Prime Ministers from around the globe will be in London on Monday, to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II, the second-longest reigning monarch in history.
Viewers outside the UK will be able to watch the Queen’s State Funeral live and free on their network via GB News.
Lightning International will offer full access and technical support to add GB News channel to platforms and networks, the distribution company said in a press statement.
The channel’s full-day coverage of this historic event will begin at 0600 hrs. (London time) on September 19. It will include the build-up to the event, and the full ceremony inside Westminster Abbey and will follow the late Queen’s journey to her final resting place at Windsor Castle.

GB News offers a uniquely British perspective to news and current affairs throughout the UK, with a focus on warm and insightful debate on politics and issues as they affect real people, rather than just the London bubble.
