I don’t use that title lightly. I have now streamed three funerals and each felt a distinct privilege for someone with no other connection to the deceased beyond enabling those unable to be present to, well, still be present. Be that the friends or relatives who were unable to gather, the 105-yr old mother who wasn’t phsycially able to fly half way around the world to be present as her son was celebrated with military honours or the family in Jersey and Australia that were able to be at a memorial and feel a part of the celebration of the life of their loved one.
I was physically present in London on the route of Her Majesty’s funeral but I know that millions around the world watched in a solemn togetherness. That occasion gave me pause for thought about the true nature of what live streaming enables. Togetherness. Being a part of something AS IT IS HAPPENING.
Consider this, how many people who watched that funeral, live on the TV, as it happened would have spent the same 2-3 hours watching a recording at a later date instead? There is something about our NEED to feel a part of an occasion. Live stream brings people together.
