Stansted, UK:
US President Joe Biden arrived in Britain late on Saturday ahead of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, said an AFP photographer aboard Air Force One.
Biden’s plane arrived at London Stansted Airport outside the capital just before 10:00pm (2100 GMT).
He is expected to pay his respects in front of Queen Elizabeth’s coffin and meet the new King Charles III on Sunday ahead of Monday’s state funeral.
However, a planned meeting with the new British Prime Minister Liz Truss has been cancelled.
Instead, they will hold a “full bilateral meeting” at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, her Downing Street office said.
It did not provide further details on why the initial meeting with Biden was cancelled.
