Hundreds of foreign leaders, including US President, Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Nigeria’s Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern, have arrived in London ahead of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral on Monday.
Thousands of people lined up overnight in the chilly weather along the River Thames to pay their final respects to Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, as she lies in state at Westminster Hall.
Her eight grandchildren, among them Princes William and Harry — briefly stood vigil at her coffin Saturday night.
President Biden is expected to pay his respects there Sunday before attending a reception hosted by King Charles III at Buckingham Palace in the evening.
Millions are expected to watch the funeral with crowds gathering near Westminster to secure a coveted spot as major disruption is expected throughout central London.
