US President Joe Biden and his wife Jill attended a reception at Buckingham Palace tonight, on the eve of the Queen’s funeral.
They were joined by presidents, prime ministers and royals from around the world.
Among those seen entering the palace were Irish President Michael D Higgins, UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, French President Emmanuel Macron, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
