British Airways let passengers livestream Queen Elizabeth's funeral mid-flight

• British Airways suspended its usual WiFi charges to let passengers stream the Queen's funeral.
• The airline has also canceled 100 flights out of Heathrow to "ensure the skies are quiet."

British Airways suspended its usual WiFi charges so passengers could watch Queen Elizabeth II's funeral while they were in the air on Monday.

A representative for the airline confirmed to Insider that passengers on any planes with WiFi networks would be able to livestream the historic funeral on their personal devices.

BA's in-flight WiFi usually costs between $6 to $14 for browsing or streaming, according to the airline's website.

British Airways added that it would observe the two minutes of silence held across the UK at the end of the funeral, with some flights being retimed or canceled to reduce noise at various times during the day.

The spokesperson said: "As a mark of respect for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her State Funeral, we have reduced our schedule and re-timed some flights at Heathrow to ensure the skies are quiet at certain moments on Monday, September 19."

The airline also told The Independent that it had canceled 100 flights scheduled to take off from Heathrow on Monday.

The representative added that 50 short-haul routes from Heathrow had been canceled or rescheduled, but no long-haul routes were affected. About 15% of the airport's schedule will be altered for the funeral on Monday, per The Independent.

Heathrow also said on its website that it would screen the funeral in the airport and observe the two minutes of silence.
