BBC: The Queen's funeral on Monday is set to be one of the biggest gatherings of royalty and politicians hosted in the UK for decades.
Invitations went out over the weekend, with some 500 heads of state and foreign dignitaries expected to attend.
The majority of leaders have been asked to arrive on commercial flights and told they will be bussed en masse from a site in west London.
The ceremony at Westminster Abbey has a capacity for around 2,200 people.
Here's what we know so far about who will and won't be in attendance.
Members of royal families from across Europe, many of whom were blood relatives of the Queen, are expected.
Belgium's King Philippe and Queen Mathilde have confirmed they will be there, as have King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and his wife, Queen Maxima, along with his mother, former Dutch queen Princess Beatrix.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain have also accepted an invitation, as have the royal families of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Monaco.
The White House has confirmed that President Joe Biden will attend along with First Lady Jill Biden, although they are understood not to be travelling to the service by bus. » | BBC | Wednesday, September 14, 2022
