The Queen's funeral will take place on Monday at 11am and will be attended by some of the world's most prestigious leaders and politicians.
The guest list is closed for the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey on Monday.
Joe Biden of the US, Emmanuel Macron of France, Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany and the relatively little known Droupadi Murmu of India are just some of the presidents on their way to London. The emperor of Japan, monarchs of Arab Gulf states and the kings and queens of Belgium, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Monaco, Luxembourg and the Netherlands will also be paying their respects in person, with many of these European royal families having blood ties to the Windsors.
British prime minister Harold Wilson coined the phrase"good working funeral" about the obsequies for Churchill in 1965. He made an effort to rebuild bridges with General de Gaulle after the French president's"non" to Britain joining the EEC. Prince Charles represented his mother at that funeral, as he often did as her heir, just as vice presidents tend to stand in for POTUS except at events of such high importance as the late Queen's funeral. Campbell comments on Charles's"stubby fingers which he is always tapping together and fiddling with his pinky ring".
