LONDON — World leaders including President Biden and the prime ministers of Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand will join members of Britain's royal family at the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II Monday morning, held inside Westminster Abbey, where she was both married and later crowned as monarch more than 70 years ago.

The service will also be attended by senior religious figures, British prime ministers past and present, and several other European monarchs, all paying homage to the United Kingdom's longest-reigning queen, who died Sept. 8 at age 96.
