The Italian and German presidents have become the latest foreign dignitaries to confirm they will attend Elizabeth II’s funeral in London next week, APA reports citing Yahoo.
Rome’s Sergio Mattarella and Berlin’s Frank-Walter Steinmeier will be among hundreds of politicians and royals travelling to the British capital for the historic occasion, which will take place at 11am on 19 September.
There has been speculation about who will be granted an invitation to the service, as space in Westminster Abbey is limited to a maximum of 2,200 people.
US president Joe Biden and New Zealand’s prime minister Jacinda Ardern have both said they will fly over for the state funeral, while other leaders including France’s Emmanuel Macron are also expected to be in attendance.
