US President Joe Biden said on Friday that he will attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, News.ro reports with reference to USA Today.
“I don’t know the details yet, but I will participate,” Joe Biden told reporters traveling with him in Ohio.
The date and details of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral have not been set, but will be announced “in due course,” Buckingham Palace said. The funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey in central London.
“In less than a week, we will gather together with the whole nation and the world community to see my beloved mother on her last journey,” King Charles III declared in his first address to the nation.
The Queen will then be buried in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle alongside her mother, father and husband Prince Philip.
Biden has known the Queen for three decades and they have met three times, most recently in June 2021, when Queen Elizabeth II hosted him and the First Lady at Windsor Castle during their visit to the United Kingdom for the G7 Leaders’ Summit.
After that visit, Biden told reporters that the queen was “very nice” and said he invited her to the White House. Biden said the monarch reminded him of his late mother.
