The funeral picked up the awards for Sound: Factual (Peter Bridges, Matthew Charles, Conrad Fletcher, Julian Gough, Andy James and Andy Payne) and directing team for Director: Multi-Camera.

The funeral was broadcast on more than 50 UK channels, including ITV and Sky and was watched by a peak of 37.5 million people in the UK.

It was reported at the time in September 2022 that TV coverage of the funeral received a peak audience of 19.5 million on BBC One and an average of 12.9 million on the channel, with 1.22 million watching on BBC Two and 3.5 million on ITV.

As well as the State Funeral, the very best behind-the-scenes television talent of 2022 was celebrated with the likes of House of the Dragon and This Is Going to Hurt winning three BAFTAs each.

The Craft Awards shine a spotlight on those who work hard behind-the-scenes of some of the year's best shows, not to be confused with the BAFTA Television Awards. The latter ceremony with P&O Cruises, will be hosted by Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan and will take place on Sunday 14th May and be broadcast at 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

The Craft Awards ceremony was hosted in London by Mel Giedroyc and some of TV's most recognisable talent served as guest presenters on the night also, including broadcaster Charlene White, Doctor Who's Sacha Dhawan, Adrian Lester, Clara Amfo and more.

Some of the first-time BAFTA winners on the night were The Tinder Swindler, Derry Girls' Lisa McGee, Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story and BBC Three's Mood. Read on for the full list of winners.
