How is it possible to miss the global aspects of the
funeral show considering that global television was kneeling for hours beating princess Diana´s funeral as for iconic farewell for the masses. Television all over the world transmitted the show such as the BBC World television doing so for hours on end as if the world stood still.
As did public service television all over Europe not mentioning Europeans news channels such as the three 24 hours French news channels (LCI, Tele-I, BFM)transmitting exactly the same pictures during 4 hours differing in commentators only for the "planetary farewell".
It was indeed a huge day for television, again reminding us that it is the world´s biggest culture, the one common global denominator.
