EastEnders and the MasterChef final were replaced by news programmes, while BBC Four was taken off air completely.

The BBC said it was "a significant event which generated a lot of interest both nationally and internationally".

It added: "We acknowledge some viewers were unhappy with the level of coverage given, and impact this had on the billed TV and Radio schedules.

"We do not make such changes without careful consideration and the decisions made reflect the role the BBC plays as the national broadcaster, during moments of national significance.

"We are grateful for all feedback, and we always listen to the response from our audiences."

The corporation's fortnightly complaints report was published on Thursday.

The figure makes the coverage of Prince Philip's death the most complained-about piece of programming in BBC history

I'd understand if we were in the era of 3 channels, especially with lockdown restrictions. But, there's so much choice now it seems ridiculous to complain.

I see nothing sinister ,his 3 grandsons together, William and Harry dont have to be joined at the hip.

Well, it seems from all reports this funeral had been planned by Prince Philip himself.
Which if things can be, is how it should be.

So he wanted William on the right side and Harry on the left side of him whichever one is where.

So what on earth are the media doing being so disrespectful to Prince Philip's memory and plans by trying to create divisive drama where on the day there probably is none, and neither should there be.

i am sure everyone that attends will just want the event to be over as quick as possible so that they can get on with living their lives, they wont use it as a platform to discuss family issues

I wish the media would shut up trying to create drama, the family are grieving.

She loved jim though.
