For American followers, I will be co-anchoring @FoxNews coverage of tomorrow’s funeral from 4am ET on what will be a long and historic day.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Summary (BBC):
Life will come to a standstill for millions as the UK says goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II
Her state funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey in London at 11:00 BST, with 2,000 people in attendance
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to line the streets of the capital
Ahead of the funeral, King Charles said he had been “deeply touched” by public support for him and his family
Foreign royals and world leaders will join the Queen’s family for a service that will be watched by hundreds of millions globally
Schools are closed, as are many shops and other businesses, on the national bank holiday
After the service, the Queen’s coffin will be taken from the abbey to Wellington Arch, at London’s Hyde Park Corner
A hearse will then travel to Windsor for a final family ceremony at a chapel in Windsor Castle
Thank you I forgot about them!
Thank you! I’m up for it.
who got better seats at the funeral?
biden
trudeau
emperor of Japan
kings of Spain or Netherlands or Sweden or Saudi
I honestly doubt that they were paying respects to her actual body.
Mrs. Mad holds that thought also. Interesting perspective.
I set my DVR so I can watch at a more decent hour.
I set my dvr to never watch this.
I am certainly watching it.
Some 2,000 people are expected to attend the Queen’s state funeral later, in what will be one of the biggest gatherings of royalty and politicians hosted in the UK for decades.
No official guest list has been published, but here’s what we know about who will - and won’t - be attending at 11am service at Westminster Abbey.
Foreign royals
Members of royal families from across Europe will attend the funeral. This includes the kings and queens of Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain.
From further afield, Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako are attending.
World leaders
US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have travelled to London for the funeral. Other world leaders we expect to see this morning are French President Emmanuel Macron, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, along with leaders from many other Commonwealth nations. South Africa’s Cyril Ramaphosa has arrived, as has Kenya’s William Ruto.
Russia, Belarus and Syria have been excluded.
UK politicians and officials
Many familiar faces from British public life will be there.
Prime Minister Liz Truss, who the Queen appointed just two days before she died, is heading to the abbey with other government figures, as well as opposition politicians, leaders of the UK’s devolved governments, and numerous other public officials.
Charities, sport, arts and science
Alongside the Queen’s family and friends, we also expect to spot representatives from charities she supported, as well as recipients of the Victoria Cross and George Cross.
The funeral looks likely to be a who’s who of the late monarch’s 70-year-reign, with famous faces expected.
Brandon won’t be. He’ll be sleeping in a puddle of diarrhea and snoring.
I heard Piers say on FOX the Byedon’s limo(the beast) is stuck in London some where. Maybe he should of taken the bus.
The motorcade is ridiculous and I guess they didn’t plan for London traffic
Although, they declared a national holiday so all stores are closed
The corpse and his wife have arrived
2 million crammed into a relatively small piece of London. What could go wrong? Byedon made it. they just showed him walking in the to the Abby.
I should of said - dottering in.
I wonder how Brits without a TV license are watching...
