There can't be very many people alive who have been to a state funeral of this magnitude, let alone actually planned one.

Is there another monarch alive with this many subjects?

I'd be surprised if there wasn't. Does QE get credit for former colonies like Canada though? If so that might help.

If you start counting what we'd usually call dictators, there definitely are bigger ones. The monarch/dictator line gets a little blurry and subjective/political I believe.
