Good of Biden and the First Lady to say they're attending the funeral.

[LadyCG]

I'd have been shocked if they hadn't.

[THECORBYLOON]

I wonder if Trump will be invited?

[ichkeria]

Extraordinary to thing she met 14 US presidents.
More than anyone - including in America

[emmie]

good, i too would be surprised if they hadn't.

[youngmafbog]

Hope he wears charcoal boxers - especially if standing next to poor Camilla.

[MargoTester]

The only one she didn't meet was LBJ apparently

[emmie]

that's what i heard too... LBJ.

[mushroom25]

wonder if he'll bother coming when he learns he'll be travelling to the abbey by bus......

no private jet, no helicopter and definitely no 100 armoured vehicle motorcade......

[Bazile]

Trump is not coming cos he doesn't believe it's true

[Peter Pedant]

wilson wouldnt send troops to vietnam
so LBJ didnt help out during the economic woes 1966-68

(and the protests ( there silly) got so strident, LBJ was a one term president)

I doubt he'd be so ungracious to refuse. The day isn’t about him and he knows that.

[jno]

I hope they're provided with Oyster cards or similar.

[youngmafbog]

//Trump is not coming cos he doesn't believe it's true//

There is always one isnt there. He sent a message of condolence, quite a good one actually.

But hey, the left never let the truth get in the way do you?

[jno]

and the right don't know a tongue-in-cheek comment when they see one.

[naomi24]

'Tongue in cheek' is so often an excuse for the just plain spiteful though, jno.

[jno]

it was a joke. ymb didn't get it.

[calmck]

In truth space only allows one representative and partner from each country that wishes to attend

[jno]

it looks rather possible that they will not however be on the bus.

///one foreign ambassador based in London sent a WhatsApp message early on Sunday that read: “Can you imagine Joe Biden on the bus?”

Timothy Miller, a security specialist and former US secret service agent, was blunter still. “The bottom line is the president of the United States would never fly commercial and/or ride on a bus,” he said///
