The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in London will be one of the biggest diplomatic gatherings in decades as world leaders head to the UK to pay their respects
Monday, the day of the funeral, has been declared a public holiday, and the funeral will be broadcast to a huge television audience worldwide and screened to crowds in parks and public spaces across the UK.
Japan's Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako will attend — their first overseas trip since assuming the throne in 2019. The visit marks a departure from Japanese tradition, which rarely sees the emperor attend funerals. Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia was invited, but Prince Turki bin Mohammed al Saud, a minister of state and has been a member of the cabinet since 2018 is expected to attend instead, according to a British foreign office source.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council head Charles Michel will go as well.
