Joe Biden to 'take over' Queen's funeral with huge security detail including 400 secret service agents and helicopter convoy.
US President Joe Biden is set to 'take over' the Queen's funeral as he will reportedly bring 400 secret service officers to the service next week. On Monday (September 19) more than 500 heads of state and foreign dignitaries will be in the capital for Her Majesty's funeral.
Foreign leaders were asked to get to the UK by commercial flights and were told they would be taken to the funeral by escorted shuttle buses due to the tight security and road restrictions. However, government sources have said he will not be subjected to the bus and will be allowed to take his car to the funeral for security reasons.
He is expected to take his 6,800kg bulletproof limousine, nicknamed The Beast, to and from Westminster Abbey where the funeral will take place. The 80-year-old is also expected to be one of the only guests to be allowed to fly over London in his Marine One helicopter.
Uniformed PCs will line the route alongside undercover operatives. Snipers will be stationed on buildings and army bomb disposal teams will be on standby as London is expected to grind to a standstill. Up to 1,500 soldiers will be deployed to help control the crowds and protect the hundreds of foreign dignitaries. Three helicopters from the Met’s Air Support Unit will be working around the clock along with firearms officers.
I suppose standing in a queue is more admirable than continually falling over on a football pitch. He has to maintain his profile in order to support his wife's 'successful' fashion business.

Honestly, Becks is a proper legend.

A cynic might say he is desperate for that knighthood.
Not me, obviously.

DB has matured into a respectable and likeable person.
Looks like Phillip Schofield is going to regret his decision big time, he's getting a proper beating on Twitter.
Virtue signals with rainbow flags on the social media then signs a multi million pound deal to promote Qatar
What a guy, greatest person ever, get him knighted because he stood in a queue ffs
All he did was stand in a queue, the amount of coverage he is getting is laughable. Almost as if its a publicity stunt......
