The crowd away from the square in front of
Buckingham Palace
, after days of constant presence following the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth: and the red carpet in front of
Downing Street
.
London has thus prepared itself today to welcome foreign dignitaries who have arrived in the British capital in these hours to attend the solemn funeral of the sovereign on Monday.
The first collective appointment is set for the evening, when several dozen leaders, including
Joe Biden and Sergio Mattarella
among others, will be greeted by
King Charles III
and the queen consort
Camilla
at the palace for a welcome pre-funeral reception.
Hence the intervention of the police to evacuate subjects and onlookers from the square, for security reasons.
