I have just done a search on Twitter for 'BBC ITV' to see the social media reaction for todays coverages since they started around 9am. Heres the social media reaction thus far:

Anyone watching the Jubilee coverage on BBC, try ITV instead. Go on, live a little! (there are no ads either)
58m Mark Gietzen Mark Gietzen @marktensee
If you watch the ITV coverage you will find out what happens before the BBC coverage!
58m Martin Robinson Martin Robinson @Robbo_Wigan
Is there any need for itv and bbc to both be showing this service??? Why?
59m David Dan%iels David Dan%iels @OzoneVibe
The ITV feed is slightly ahead of the BBC feed (Freeview). Get in step! ;p

Several channels broadcast the same footage now. BBC, Sky, ITV..
1h Piers Smith Piers Smith @TVjunkster
Everyone saying how bad the BBC are doing at this jubilee & how good Sky are, nothing on ITV? I take it they are showing Bond movies instead
1h Erve Erve @ErveGreetham
Theres 2 channels doing the coverage of the Queens diamond jubilee. The BBC & the ITV. I prefer the ITV over BBC. #diamondjubilee #ITV1

Bank Holiday TV: BBC and ITV with 6 hours of concurrent Royal rubbish? Reserve synchronised telly for something special, like Cup Final Day.
1h Sefton456 Sefton456 @Sefton456

Is it wrong that I felt slightly peeved that This Morning isn't on just so ITV can show precisely the same as BBC at a different angle?

Im really pleased that #itv reminded me that their is better coverage of the #jubilee on the #bbc. Thank christ for that...
. I'm thinking around 2.5 to 3.5 million average, although the hype just doesn't seem to be there. It's got lost in all the Jubilee talk and that could dent it's ratings, aswell as the fact that the housemates seem to so tacky again. Ergh.
