President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden arrived at Westminster Abbey for Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral service, about an hour before it was set to begin.
Monday has been declared a public holiday in honor of Elizabeth, who died Sept. 8 — and hundreds of thousands of people descended on central London to partake in the historic moment. Long before the service was set to begin, city authorities said viewing areas along the route of the funeral’s procession were full.live on television, and crowds are flocking to parks and public spaces across the U.K. to watch it on screens.
Following the funeral in the medieval abbey where Elizabeth was married and crowned, her coffin — ringed by units of the armed forces in dress uniforms and members of her family — will be brought through the capital’s streets to Wellington Arch near Hyde Park. Biden called Queen Elizabeth II “decent” and “honorable” and “all about service” as he signed the condolence book, saying his heart went out to the royal family.
