How to watch Queen Elizabeth II’s historic funeral service in Canada

After 96 influential years at the forefront of Britain’s monarchy, the world will say goodbye to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II during a traditional service at Westminster Abbey in London. Held this upcoming Monday – which has been marked as a federal holiday in Canada, the Queen’s funeral will be attended by the royal family and world leaders – with millions of people watching from outside the church and on their screens at home.

If of course, you’d like to be one of the many to observe the historic event, several publications will be broadcasting live starting at 6 am ET (4 am MST or 3 am PST).

In addition to popular outlets like CTV and CBC which will cover the event on their apps, website and TV, SkyNews and The BBC will also stream the event via their YouTube channels.

In conjunction, there will also be a Canadian-led memorial held for her at Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa, Ontario – which you can also watch on Facebook or YouTube at 11 am ET (9 am MST or 8 am PST).

“On September 19, Canadians from across the country will pay their respects to Canada’s longest-reigning sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. For most Canadians, she was the only monarch we ever knew and many of us felt a deep affection and appreciation for her dedication to Canada,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a recent press release.

“This is a time to honour an extraordinary life of public service marked by grace, dignity, and an unwavering sense of duty.”
