Meanwhile, according to documents obtained by Politico, the heads of state and their partners from each country have reportedly been banned from travelling via helicopters or their own state cars. Instead, they are being encouraged to fly into the UK on commercial flights and will arrive and depart in escorted coaches from a site in west London.
In addition to being invited to the reception hosted by the new King and the funeral itself, they will have the opportunity to attend the Queen's lying-in-state and sign the condolence book at Lancaster House.
