Melbourne
Australians sat in front of their TVs to see the historic moment when Westminster Abbey's doors opened.
English bars in Melbourne's CBD were mostly vacant when they aired the burial.
Rick Tonk and his dad were at the Charles Dickens Tavern. "We'll take in the ambiance and say farewell," Tonk added. "Many people throughout the world were solemn. They'll watch.
He said it was unusual to be so far away from home while such a momentous event unfolded, and the Queen's death felt like it came out of nowhere.
Tonk: "It's the turning of a page, the advent of a new century — basically saying goodbye to our king."
John Davie, the tavern's proprietor, said publicity of the funeral "diluted" interest in Australia. Davie said the attention building up to the most critical day definitely didn't help.
In the UK, mourners queue for days. People here seem tired. It's overwhelming.
Both monarchists and republicans watched in bars around Australia. Others wanted to "witness the historical moment"
Ebony Bennet, deputy director of the Australia Institute, tweeted about the seating layout.
Before the funeral, various churches held modest services.
Priest Jennifer Furphy, 68, of St Agnes Black Rock, led her congregation in prayer for the Queen and read from her Christmas addresses.
We wanted to honor her legacy, Christian faith, and devotion to her nation and the commonwealth, Furphy added. "Parishioners here are English migrants with familial and cultural ties. It was vital to acknowledge that."
Furphy acknowledged that for many First Nations Australians, the crown and its handover evoked a sad colonial past.
For many Australians of her generation, especially working women, the Queen was a figure of strength. Furphy: "I've always thought the Queen was a terrific leader, and it's excellent to be governed by a woman." "Having a king is different" Kelly Cait
In the previous 11 days, France has exhibited great interest in Queen Elizabeth II's death and funeral. Macron posted a black-and-white clip showing Elizabeth visiting the Élysée and with past presidents with the words, "Thank you, Your Majesty." The film opened with the Queen wishing for long-lasting friendship.
TF1 carried a special edition called L'Adieu chronicling the full funeral with mournful French translation and a British commentator who acknowledged chanting God Save the King in the studio as it was performed at Westminster Abbey. Several correspondents covered the march for the station.
George V was briefly dubbed Elizabeth II 1926-2022.
Many in France believed the French reaction to the Queen's death answered the question UK Prime Minister Liz Truss couldn't: is Macron "friend or adversary" Former British ambassador to Paris Peter Ricketts said Truss made a "major mistake" "It's time to make amends and solidify our friendship," he remarked.
National and local publications again covered the royal goodbye. Le Parisien headlined "Elizabeth II: the century's funeral." The publication wrote, "Today, the world looks to London for the Queen's burial."
Le Figaro's top page showed the coffin and said, "The World Gathers in Memory of Elizabeth II."
French journalists questioned individuals outside the monastery, along the funeral procession route, and in bars.
The funeral cortege stopped at Wellington Arch, a monument of the Duke of Wellington's Waterloo victory.

It's been over 250 years since the US declared independence from the British monarchy, but there's still fondness in New York City.
American royal family fans, flag-bearing British visitors, and local TV journalists jammed the Churchill Tavern, a British tavern near the Empire State Building, to witness the Queen's funeral.
The throng observed an hour of solemn silence as the monarch was sent on her way.
Despite opening at 5.30am, seating was limited and many stood as they arrived. A lifesize beefeater sculpture and gloomy, respectful atmosphere greeted mourners.
Sinead Naughton, who runs the Churchill with her British husband, said she had never seen the pub so quiet. “It was bizarre, courteous, and really moving,” she added.
The Churchill, a traditional midtown Manhattan tavern with a large wooden bar and dispersed seats, features Queen Elizabeth pictures and paintings.
Since opening 11 years ago, the pub has been open for every significant British event, said Naughton. Naughton said the funeral "had to" be open.
As the Queen's casket was taken to Westminster Abbey, customers became quiet. By 6am, when service began, the bar was quiet save for the occasional clink of coffee cups.

Queen Elizabeth II's burial on Monday was received with a subdued reception in Kenya, in contrast to the sadness and outrage that preceded her death.
Kenya's president, William Ruto, attended the Queen's burial, which was broadcast on various networks. Her sending-off captivated the globe, but not the nation. On the streets and online, normalcy reigned.
While on a royal visit with Prince Philip, Britain's longest-reigning monarch became queen in Kenya. Kenyans vividly recall the Queen's first "fairytale" visit.
49-year-old Paul Ochieng: "It's the end of an era." "We grew up watching the Queen, then she became Queen here, so we like her."
For others, she was a sad reminder of Britain's cruel colonial past, when over 1.5 million Kenyans were taken into detention camps and subjected to torture and other crimes in the 1950s.
Many crimes were done in Elizabeth's name during the ruthless suppression of the Mau Mau. The UK government agreed to reimburse Kenyan torture victims £20m in 2013.
Suhayl Omar, 24, a Kenyan researcher at the Museum of British Colonialism, stated, "We're gaslit to mourn someone who looked over our collective agony."
