The Queen ‘Defined an Era’ – Joe Biden

The Queen’s son, King Charles III, has said the death of his mother would be “deeply felt” around the world. UK Prime Minister Liz Truss said the Queen had “provided us with the stability and strength that we needed” and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, expressed his “profound sadness”. France’s Emmanuel Macron recalled, “a kind-hearted Queen” who was “a friend of France”. US President Joe Biden described her as “more than a monarch”, saying she “defined an era”. Canada’s Justin Trudeau said that “in a complicated world, her steady grace and resolve brought comfort to us all” reports The Week.

After lying in rest at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh for a few days, the Queen’s coffin will be brought to London, where it will lie in state in Westminster Hall for about four days. Members of the public will be allowed to file past. Her state funeral is expected to take place at Westminster Abbey in about ten days’ time, with the exact day to be confirmed by Buckingham Palace. The coffin will then be interred in the King George VI memorial chapel at Windsor Castle. A remembrance service will take place at St Paul’s Cathedral in London Friday, attended by the prime minister and other senior ministers.
