Babestation leaves people baffled as Queen's funeral aired across adult channels

Royal fans are baffled by the choice of some racy TV stations who have opted to show the Queen's funeral.

As a sign of respect, the channels have opted out of their usual X-rated content to air Her Majesty's funeral - though fans have found this quite strange.

On Monday (September 19), major adult networks made the decision to pause their usual scheduling to show Queen Elizabeth II's historic state funeral.

Even Babenation paid their respects by following suit - which some fans found funny.

One fan shared a picture of the TV guide on Twitter - which showed a high number of adult channels broadcasting the Queen's funeral.

This was then shared by thousands of people with many social media users replying to the thread.

The original picture was shared with the caption: "It'll be a difficult w*** admittedly..."

Another quipped: "I think it would be fitting if we were all stood to attention during this sad event. It's what she would have wanted."

While a third joked: "An opportunity for the Nation to come together over the Queen."

"Absolutely fascinated wondering what kind of person is watching the funeral on Babenation or Brazzers," another stunned user penned.

While another put: "Imagine telling your grandkids how you watched the Queen's funeral on Babenation."

Big screens were also put up across the country so fans in the community could watch the funeral together.

Places this took place included London’s Hyde Park, Sheffield’s Cathedral Square, Birmingham’s Centenary Square, Carlisle’s Bitts Park, Edinburgh’s Holyrood Park and Coleraine Town Hall in Northern Ireland.

Cinemas across the UK also decided to show the funeral.

However, Channel 5, however, chose to play The Emoji Movie at the time of the Queen's funeral, which was then followed by Stuart Little and Ice Age.

Their decision to controversially show this was also spoken about on Twitter.

One fan said: "To be fair, it's good to see them doing something like this. Most families will have 2 TVs so adults can watch it and children watch the film. It's a shame BBC aren't doing something similar with BBC3."

A second added: "Channel 5 deserve a lot of respect for this, airing an entire day's worth of kid and family-friendly content to give us a break from wall-to-wall bleakness is a great move."
