Thousands of kings, queens, presidents, prime ministers, ambassadors and other invited guests will meet with Queen Elizabeth II on Monday morning. He came to Westminster Abbey for Elizabeth’s funeral.
The late Queen II. Elizabeth will be buried on Monday, September 8, 11 days after her death. A five-day wait has come to an end this morning in Westminster Hall, where hundreds of thousands of people silently passed the Queen’s coffin to pay their last respects.
In a testament to the strong feeling among the British public for the late Queen, a moment of silence was held for nearly five days along the River Thames in London. Sometimes the living room. the length exceeds five miles and the standby time is even approaching 24 hours.

The last mourners passed Westminster Hall in the early morning before it was closed, and the queen’s coffin was ready to be transported to Westminster Abbey, the ancient Norman church where England’s political heartland – Westminster – was born. In keeping with 120 years of royal tradition, the coffin will be carried from the Hall to the abbey today for a state funeral by an Army field gun drawn by a team of 142 Royal Navy sailors.
The funeral will take one hour from 11:00 BST (6:00 EST). The Queen will be escorted in a state carriage from the abbey to Wellington Arch, then by car to Windsor Castle, where she will be buried privately with her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
What could be the largest meeting of heads of state to launch the largest security operation in UK history, attended by the royal family, presidents, prime ministers, ambassadors and government ministers, as well as hundreds of recent honorees? She enjoyed trips to central London as the Queen and heads of charities. While dissatisfied protests are possible, the main concern is the risk of terrorism against large groups of people: dignitaries invited inside the church and large crowds outside.
The logistical challenges of transporting so many world leaders to central London for church services have created some challenges as world leaders are often accustomed to driving and flying private helicopters to each destination. The British government is now demanding that alternatives be used to avoid limousine traffic jams. . Some world leaders took this more modestly than others: it is believed that the emperor of Japan will travel to the monastery by bus, and US President Joe Biden will travel in a presidential motorcade.
