World leaders put differences aside for Queen’s funeral
In a rare occasion, world leaders are expected to come together for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, despite their differences
There are very few people in the world who can bring countries together, to put their differences aside. However, Queen Elizabeth II is the exception.
World leaders will unite for Her Majesty’s funeral, even if it’s only momentarily.
Her Majesty’s funeral will be a sombre day for millions, despite nationality or location.
World leaders are set to put their differences aside, to remember the longest-reigning monarch.
The Queen’s funeral will be the most important gathering of world leaders since J.F. Kennedy’s funeral in 1963.
The funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey, in London. In what is set to be one of the UK’s biggest police operations in history.
The security detail of this moment has been planned for years, with patrol on the ground and snipers in the sky.
Strict rules for world leaders
There are strict rules for world leaders attending the funeral, and will most likely be rules they’re not accustomed to.
British authorities have put a ban on private jets and have advised world leaders to use commercial planes instead.
They have also advised against private cars and will instead organise for leaders to be bussed to the funeral.
Numbers for each leader are limited to the head of state or their designated representative and significant other.
Air Force One will carry U.S. President Biden, yet there’s no word if Former President Trump will get an invite.
September 19, 2022 will be a day like no other, when differences are momentarily put to rest, to pay respect to Queen Elizabeth II.
The coffin will travel from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey on the State Gun Carriage of the Royal Navy.
King Charles III and key members of the royal family will walk behind the coffin.
Her Majesty will be laid to rest in the royal vault, beside her mother and father and her sisters ashes.
And at last, Her Majesty will be reunited with her husband, Prince Philip.

Israel strikes Tehran anew as conflict escalates and global markets react
Israel strikes Tehran after Khamenei’s death; U.S. warns of prolonged conflict as tensions escalate in the Middle East.
Israel strikes Tehran after Khamenei’s death; U.S. warns of prolonged conflict as tensions escalate in the Middle East.
Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran, following the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. U.S. President Donald Trump has warned the campaign could last up to a month, framing the operation as a move to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities.
Iran has retaliated with missile attacks, while its Revolutionary Guards claim responsibility for assaults on oil tankers in the Gulf. The escalating hostilities are already disrupting global shipping lanes and air travel, sending shockwaves through international markets.
With reports of the first U.S. casualties emerging and Washington declaring the Tehran operation a success, tensions across the Middle East are intensifying rapidly. The question now is how far this conflict could spread — and at what cost.

U.S. and Israel strike Iran as missiles hit Gulf bases and oil surges
U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.
U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.
The United States and Israel have launched a sweeping military operation against Iran, striking leadership targets and more than 500 military sites in what President Trump has dubbed Operation Epic Fury.
Explosions have rocked Tehran, with civilians fleeing the capital as U.S. sea and air assets carry out sustained attacks. Washington says the mission is designed to prevent a nuclear armed Iran and has even called on Iranians to rise up against the regime.
Iran has retaliated with a barrage of missiles and drones targeting Israel and U.S. bases across the region, including in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. While many projectiles were intercepted, a U.S. base in Bahrain sustained damage.
Gulf states long seen as stable hubs for global business are now directly in the firing line, raising fears of a wider regional war.
Oil prices are climbing and tankers are diverting from the Strait of Hormuz as markets react to the escalating conflict. U.S. aircraft carriers, advanced fighter jets and missile destroyers remain in position, signalling more strikes could follow.
With global leaders scrambling diplomatically, the world is watching to see whether this spirals further or shifts back to negotiations.
