Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama is in London and will be attending the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II today at the invitation of Buckingham Palace.

He joined mourners at Westminster Hall to honour Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II lying-in-state.

He also witnessed the changing of the guard, also known as catafalque party, saying that it was a show of duty, discipline, and affection that he will never forget.

Meanwhile, President Ratu Wiliame Katonivere will also host a live-broadcast Commemoration Service at 10am tomorrow at the State House.
