CNN International is just showing photo montage of the Queen, probably in line with other UK broadcasters who decided to have an ad-free broadcast, while CNN US still has product advertisement on the PiP.

CNN International are licensed by Ofcom, so not allowed to show adverts during the ceremony (as per rule 14 of the COSTA code

The BBC's coverage of this has been flawless. Fergal Keane's commentary, in particular, has been spot on in terms of the solemnity of the occasion and conveying gravitas.

Wonderful camera shots from the ceiling of Westminster Abbey during the service. Would love to know how they got them up there!

Looks like GB News is totally reliant to AFP camera feeds, which seems to have some of the bad camera positions.

I wonder if we'll see BBC Parliament showing the coronation coverage again in the near future.

The picture quality of it was quite poor, even on the remastered version they showed last time, but I guess they can't be helped, a limitation of the primitive technology and telerecording techniques of the time. Likely why all the footage I've seen over the last few days has been from the newsreel footage instead.

Yes, some Sky channels have been showing this slide instead of the Sky News coverage:

BBC Studios provided over 80% of live video footage to most broadcasters with many adding additional cameras themselves, if permission were granted.
