Channel 4 opted to show film Johnny English Strikes Again instead of the Coronation. A reported 138,000 people preferred to the watch Rowan Atkinson film.

Millions of people are thought to have watched the Queen’s coronation on television in 1953 – but there are no reliable figures, making it difficult to measure against this year’s ceremony.

Based on surveys carried out by the BBC at the time, it is estimated that more than 20 million adults in the UK watched it.

The funeral service for the King’s ex-wife Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997 was seen by 31 million on BBC and ITV – making it the highest TV audience on record.
