I wonder how many 11 year olds have stood up at their Dad's funeral and made a speech to the mourners at his funeral... let alone to thousands of people she doesn't know and to millions watching on tv.

I don't know a single 11 year old that would have the confidence to do that on their own... without someone talking them into it.
I doubt very much the kid understood that millions of people were watching, even if she was told. To her it was a room full of people that were friends with her Dad.

This thread is full of posts about children volunteering to participate in the funeral of a loved one.
