Things may change so I encourage you to follow the link for up-to-date info. That's why I didn't quote from it...
Thank you for this link!
Does anyone have info on which Platinum Jubilee events (if any) will be watchable for USA audiences? BBC iPlayer is restricted to the UK, and even if you are in the UK it won't work if you use a VPN or other means of masking your location. There's a Facebook trailer of 5 min or so advertising a biographical documentary, but again you have to have UK access to BBC iPlayer to watch it. I'm wondering if US news networks will be covering anything. My local PBS station sends a member booklet each month, and I didn't find mention of the Jubilee in the listings for June.
epltd, check to see if your cable provider gives you CBC.
I'm missing the main jubilee events, but found out today that there is a "corgi trail" - a series of artist sculptures of corgis set out around town. I understand they'll be up until July then auctioned off. I plan to look for them on my visit later in June.

Thank Nigel and all. I’m watching while working around the house today. Personally, I think she is one very amazing, extraordinary and remarkable woman!
I know my local Fox affiliate had coverage all morning not sure if other cities do the same.
We saw the Royal Fly Over today and the Superbloom at the Tower of London.
Robin, how exciting! You are so lucky to be in London right now!!
For the rest of us, trying to watch some of it on TV......
Coverage has not been thorough on any USA network.
There was some coverage on ABC this morning, some coverage on Fox network, bits and pieces on CNN.
Here's a video from YouTube that was livestreamed today from The Telegraph:

It's pretty much complete coverage, 4 hours and 52 minutes.
For a recap of the days' events, I'm going to watch the BBC News on PBS tonight.
I was especially hoping to see the lighting of the beacons all over Great Britain this afternoon at 3:00 PM, but there was only a glimpse of Queen Elizabeth lighting the beacon at Windsor.
Not a royalist...
But the Trooping of the Colour was astonishing

Leaving Heathrow today our flight was held 45 minutes due to the flyover. Sitting on the plane i got to see the Red Arrows fly over the airport from my window seat—very cool!
