US President Joe Biden said he will attend Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.

“Yes,” Biden told reporters Friday when asked whether he planned to attend the funeral, details of which have not been announced by the Palace.

“I don’t know what the details are yet, but I will be going,” Biden said.

He told reporters he’d not yet spoken to King Charles III following the Queen’s death.

“I know him. I haven’t spoken to him. I did not call him yet,” Biden said.
