EWTN is doing an excellent job of covering the visit. They will be airing the meeting with ++Rowan today (Fri) at 10:30 AM Eastern and repeating at 5:30 PM Eastern as well as the beatification of John Henry Cardinal Newman.
Here is the grid thru Saturday:

From what I can see there will be speeches from both the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Pope to the joint assembly of the Anglican and Catholic bishops in England and Wales at Lambeth Palace at 4 pm London time [11 am EST]. This is according to the Itinery and Timeline:
[blockquote]the Pope is scheduled to meet with the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace in the presence of the Anglican diocesan bishops and the Catholic diocesan bishops of England and Wales.
He has then been invited, as part of the State visit, to address British society. Representatives of British society will be invited to Westminster Hall to hear the Pope’s address.
He will finish off the day with the Archbishop of Canterbury and Christian leaders at Westminster Abbey to celebrate Evening Prayer. The Holy Father will also pray at the Grave of the Unknown Warrior and also at the Shrine of St Edward the Confessor.[/blockquote]
There is a 24/7 live stream of his activities here.
I have to say the Vatican does seem to have got its act together on the broadcasting front using multi media. No need to rely on the secular media. A pretty slick operation from which perhaps we could learn?
The Pope is speaking at the meeting with other religious leaders at St Mary’s University College, Twickenham is going on at the moment on the livestream. It will be interesting to hear what the Pope has to say at his meeting at Lambeth Palace later today.
Coverage from Lambeth Palace has started. One can watch the Anglican and Catholic bishops beginning to arrive here
