About 2,000 people attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on Monday morning in Westminster Abbey.

The organization is meticulous, and the invited heads of state had to comply with the rules.

In particular, they had the obligation to board buses chartered for the occasion in order to get to the ceremony.

But, Joe Biden managed to obtain a privilege.

The President of the United States went there in his own vehicle, an armored limousine.

Joe Biden was not seen getting off a bus alongside Emmanuel Macron in particular.

The president, accompanied by his wife Jill, arrived at 11 a.m. at the abbey in “The Beast” (the beast, in English).

A very impressive presidential car.

Might as well have taken the bus.
