What do you think; should president Biden have travelled to Queen Elizabeth’s II funeral in the ‘Beast’ Limo? The world tuned in to watch the TV coverage of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. In what has been described as a significant event in British history, the funeral pulled on the heartstrings of royalists and non-royalists alike. A particular highlight for many was when the late Queen’s beloved corgis, Muick and Sandy, waited at the castle to watch their owner’s coffin pass. As expected, the funeral was attended by an eclectic pool of people, from royals and royal staff to politicians and celebrity figures in attendance. But, many awaited the arrival of the President of the United States, Joe Biden. While a much-anticipated attendee, Joe Biden arrived late, along with his wife Jill. The finely choreographed event was planned down to a tee, with guests invited to sit between 9.35 am and 9.55 am. Joe and Jill Biden’s 10.05 am arrival meant that the couple had to wait awkwardly as a procession of George and Victoria Cross-holders walked before them down the nave of the Abbey. Once seated, the Bidens were placed by Andrzej Duda, the president of Poland, and Petr Fiala, the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic. With all eyes on Biden, many were wondering how the US President travelled, which is always shrouded in the paranoia of assassination. According to reports, the Bidens were given a dispensation to travel to London in the famous ‘Beast’ limousine; a large bulletproof vehicle. Other world leaders arrived together by bus. Biden was granted this exception for security purposes. However, the President did come under criticism due to the costs involved in bringing the Beast over to the UK. Many believed limo hire in London would have been an adequate means of transport. Whilst travelling through London in the ‘Beast’, Biden was spotted many times, with images and footage of the black limo making their way onto social media. Being stuck in traffic on many occasions, the President was snapped stationery outside a Pret a Manger on Oxford Street for a long period.
