London: Celebrities from all over the world have slowly started arriving to pay their last respects to Queen Elizabeth II. Meanwhile, former England football captain David Beckham also paid his last respects to the Queen. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star told media that he joined thousands of people heading to Westminster Hall to pay their last respects to the British queen.

Beckham, 47, was seen wearing a hat, suit and tie. He also appeared to stand in honor of the Queen like thousands of people. Britain’s longest-reigning queen died last week at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at the age of 96. His coffin was brought to Buckingham Palace via road and air from Scotland.

Westminster Abbey has a space of about 2000 people. For this reason, only heads of state and one or two guests have been invited to this first national funeral in Britain (UK) after 6 decades.

Royal families in Europe and several countries have confirmed their arrival at the funeral of the longest-serving ruler in the world.

Japan’s King Naruhito and Queen Masako will attend it. This will be his first foreign visit after assuming power in 2019. This would be a departure from Japanese tradition in which rulers rarely attend a funeral. The royal families of Europe are very closely associated with the British royal family and there is a blood relationship between many families.  For this reason, it is no surprise that many rulers will attend the funeral of the Queen.
