World leaders should avoid using private jets to travel to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in London, and buses will replace private cars, the portal reported on Monday. politicalwhich refers to official sources.
The funeral of the monarch, who died last Thursday at the age of 96, will be held on September 19 at Westminster Abbey in London.
Representatives from around the world are expected in the British capital as part of a complex logistical operation for the authorities, which, according to the American news portal politicalasked foreign leaders to use commercial flights “if possible”, avoiding private jets.
The use of helicopters ‘must be stopped’, as is the use of personal vehicles: according to British Foreign Office documents cited by Politico, leaders from around the world must be brought to Westminster by bus.
“Do you imagine Joe Biden on the bus?” the Foreign Ambassador in London told Politico.
United States President Joe Biden always travels in Air Force One and travels in an armored vehicle known as “The Beast”.
On the other hand, only one representative per country will be allowed to enter the abbey accompanied by a wife or husband, Politico reported, citing information contained in a note addressed to embassies on Sunday.
“Due to limited space at funeral ceremonies and side events, no other family members, staff or advisors will be able to enter,” the note said.
On the day of the funeral, “for reasons of safety and changes in traffic,” leaders cannot travel in private cars, “but in buses that will be available.”
If, despite the advice of the British authorities, foreign leaders arrive in private jets, Heathrow Airport will be unavailable “for private flights” and the aircraft will be sent to “less busy airports”.
