According to a report from Town and Country, “all five living former presidents—Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter—have been invited to ‘a Service of Thanksgiving for the Life of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II'” at the Washington National Cathedral.
The outlet reports:
The event, which is set to feature an honor guard by the Queen’s Colour Squadron, a unit of the Royal Air Force, will be held on Wednesday, September 21, according to Sky News.
The cathedral has a long and prominent history, having played host to the funerals of Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, and George HW Bush, as well as memorial services for the likes of Winston Churchill, the Queen’s beloved first Prime Minister. Last week, after the death of Queen Elizabeth was announced, the cathedral’s bell tolled 96 times in honor of Her Majesty’s 96 years of life.
Joe Biden will be attending the Queen’s funeral on Monday, but it has been reported that Trump will not be in attendance, according to the Daily Mail.
the British Embassy in the United States said regarding the D.C. memorial service, “We are following convention as you’d expect and have invited all former Presidents as well as President and Dr. Biden and other members of the Administration.”
