Queen Elizabeth II live updates: Biden, world leaders pay final ... (The Washington Post)

President Biden, Canada's Trudeau and New Zealand's Ardern, in London for Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, will attend a reception hosted by King Charles III.

Too ill to travel, her father, King George VI, had tasked Elizabeth and her husband, Philip, with undertaking a months-long tour of the Commonwealth, in what was then the twilight of the British Empire. On the morning of her father’s death, 25-year-old Elizabeth was perched in a treehouse in Kenya, from which she’d watched a herd of elephants led by matriarchs come to a watering hole. It’s history with echoes of Arthurian romance.

Queen lying in state: public told 'do not set off to join the queue' on ... (The Guardian)

Decision later on Sunday on closing entry to queue permanently when it reaches capacity ahead of Monday's funeral.

Visitors have been warned that the network could be overwhelmed if too many people travel home directly after the funeral procession leaves Westminster shortly after noon, with transport bosses urging mourners to delay their journeys and check for travel updates. Commonwealth countries including Australia and New Zealand have also confirmed closures on public holidays in the coming days. People have been warned not to set off from their homes to join the queue for the Queen’s lying in state, as it is due to close later this afternoon. Martin and Ireland’s president Michael D Higgins visited Westminster Hall to pay their respects to the late monarch. “I’ve come from Birmingham because I want to be here for the funeral. “It’s kind of like the mass media event that commercially never was.” Mass media TV events are usually cash cows for commercial broadcasters, with 30-second ad breaks in an X Factor final or an England game in the latter stages of a major football tournament running to hundreds of thousands of pounds. Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said he is grateful for the invitation to the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and paid tribute to her contribution to reconciliation. “It’s a genuine once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” And yet the biggest national event in decades will not provide a commercial bonanza for media firms. ITV has planned its largest ever outside broadcast, with all of its channels simulcasting ad-free blanket live coverage for the first time in history. “Our slogan is: God, homeland, family and freedom.”

Many American eyes on Monday will inevitably be on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. But acknowledging the sensitivity of the moment, refused requests by her friend – the network’s anchor Gayle King – to go any further.
