The Queen’s funeral will undoubtedly be one of the biggest gatherings of world leaders and dignitaries in history

The funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey, which has a capacity of around 2,200 guests.

Invitations were sent out over the weekend, with many wondering who received an invite, and who didn’t.

500 heads of state and prominent individuals will be in attendance, including the Kings and Queens of the Netherlands, Spain and Belgium.

U.S. President Joe Biden and his wife, first lady Jill Biden will be there to commemorate Her Majesty.

There’s no official word yet on whether Donald Trump has been invited, but the strict capacity limits likely means he hasn’t been.

However, there is some speculation the Obamas might have received private invites.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not confirmed his plans.

However, fellow leaders of the Commonwealth will attend, including Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern and Canada’s Justin Trudeau.

Those who won’t receive an invite in the mail include Russian President Vladimir Putin, any representatives from Russia, Belarus, or Myanmar.
