London: Dignitaries begin to arrive at Royal Hospital Chelsea
Dignitaries have started to arrive at the Royal Hospital in west London.
London, The Gulf Observer: In the last half hour, dignitaries have started to arrive at the Royal Hospital in west London in diplomatic cars with dark windows.
The first vehicle to cross the police cordon was registered to Sudan.
Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan’s military leader, is expected to attend the Queen’s funeral.
Police have formed a ring of security in the area, blocking off streets where foreign heads of state are due to gather to be transported in buses to Westminster Abbey.
The home of the Chelsea pensioners was cut off to the public by uniformed officers and security barriers ahead of the dignitaries’ arrival.
Photographers, television cameras and journalists gathered on the edge of the security ring hoping to catch sight of the bus convoy.
