Who paid for the broadcast?
My understanding is that the broadcasting pool paid for everything in terms of cameras, helicopters, sound, crew, installation and derig, etc.
And the "event" itself (hire of St Paul's, Bank Holiday costs, closing the roads...) was paid for by the taxpayer, ie the Government.
The family themselves presumably paid for the private service at the end of the day, which wasn't broadcast or recorded anyway.
So how can Buckingham Palace possibly claim any kind of ownership over the footage on the day?
