Bidens pay respects to Queen Elizabeth II
President Biden and first lady Jill Biden on Sunday paid their respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II as she lies in state at Westminster Hall in London.
The Bidens are in the United Kingdom ahead of the queen’s state funeral service at Westminster Abbey on Monday. Hundreds of international leaders have reportedly been invited to attend the ceremony.
“To all the people of England, all the people of the United Kingdom, our hearts go out to you. And you were fortunate to have had her for seventy years. We all were. The world is better for her,” Biden said in remarks Sunday after signing a condolence book for the late queen.
The monarch died Sept. 8 at her Balmoral castle in Scotland, ending a seven-decade reign and leaving her son Prince Charles to take the throne as King Charles III.
