World leaders are literally gathering in London to witness Queen Elizabeth’s coat of arms.
A total of around 500 distinguished guests were invited, but Ukraine in the war had its first lady present, while Russia did not receive any invitations.

United States President Joe Biden expressed his condolences at London’s Westminster Hall, where Queen Elizabeth’s coffin was placed.
“Queen Elizabeth was respected around the world for her unwavering devotion to her office,” the condolences wrote.
[조 바이든 / 미국 대통령 : (궁에서 저희를 맞아) 여왕께서 차와 쿠키를 계속 내오셔서 제 앞에 있는 다과를 모두 먹을 수밖에 없었죠. 알려진 이미지와 실제 성격이 똑같았습니다. 존경스럽고 헌신적이셨죠.]
The delegates from each country offer their condolences to the Queen from the balcony, separated from the mourning procession of the common faithful.
China sent Vice President Wang Qishan as a representative of condolences.
Once upon a time there was the prospect that the Chinese side would not be allowed to visit due to the diplomatic conflict over the Xinjiang Uyghur issue.
In Japan, Emperor Naruhito and his wife came to offer their condolences.
It is the second time in history that a Japanese emperor has attended the funeral of a foreign royal family, since then Emperor Akihito participated in the Belgian bureaucracy 29 years ago.
In the war-torn Ukraine, in place of President Zelensky, the First Lady and the Prime Minister attended for condolences.
Charles III, who succeeded the throne of Queen Elizabeth, invited delegations to Buckingham Palace in London to pay their respects.
A reception was held at the palace to express our appreciation for the visit to pay homage to the mother.
It is known that around 500 distinguished guests from all over the world were invited to the funeral, including presidents and royal families from each country.
Among them, unusual ambassadors have been invited to North Korea and Iran, which have diplomatic tensions.
Russia, which invaded Ukraine, and Belarus, which sympathized with it, did not receive any invitations.
