Wouldn’t you think the leader of the free world could have gamed out the traffic and gotten an early start?
According to the Guardian:
He may be the world’s most powerful man but the apparent late arrival of the US president, Joe Biden, and his wife, Jill, was not allowed to disrupt the finely tuned choreography of the late Queen’s funeral.
Rather than being ushered immediately to their seats on their arrival at Westminster Abbey, the first couple, aged 79 and 71, had to be gently told they would need to stand and wait as a procession of George and Victoria Cross-holders went ahead of them down the nave of the abbey.
After an awkward period of small talk at the main entrance, as those awarded the highest decorations of military valour went ahead, the Bidens finally followed in the wake of Victoria Cross-holder CSgt Johnson Beharry, pushing the wheelchair of Keith Payne VC, 89.
The US president had been given a dispensation to make his journey to the abbey in “the Beast”, a heavily armoured limousine used by US presidents for security reasons, rather than be bussed to the abbey with the other heads of state and government.

“Gently told.” LOL!
“Sorry, Charlie. We don’t care who you are, you’re late and you will have to wait your turn with the other nobodies.”
If The Queen were my mother, the “unfashionably” and inexcusably late Biden’s would have been turned away and shown the door.
Symbolically Biden.
Late to the party, treated as a faux leader, embarrassing his nation once again.
Gotta luv the Brits… Hey Joe, you aint that special. Wait your turn gramps.
Lizzy was special.
Queen Elizabeth certainly was special, one of a kind. There will never be another like her.
Agree 110%. There will never be another Queen like her.
Continues to daily be a disgrace to the USA along with his wife!!!!!!!
Moron in every concievable way.
An abysmal excuse for a president and an abysmal excuse for a human being. That’s my opinion after observing him for the last 50 years.
BS!
He probably had a bathroom mistake and they had to clean him up!
Sorry Joe, ya missed the boat. Now take yourself and your white trash gold digger with you and go back home where you belong.
The Brits were not pleased that Slo-Joe had to be driven around in the Beast with his entourage when all the other leaders/royalty from other countries took the tour buses as requested. Serves him right that he was late and seated in row 14 way in the back of the section in the Abbey.
Chee. He’s lucky he’s got Trudeau to cover for him.
