Following a report that only two seats would be made available for U.S. dignitaries to attend Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral on Monday, former Presidents Donald Trump, Barack Obama and the three other living former presidents will be offered seats at a memorial service at Washington National Cathedral on Sept. 21.
The Episcopal church, which held funeral services for four other U.S. presidents, has also held memorial services for foreign leaders, namely Nelson Mandela in 2014 and for Sir Winston Churchill following his death in 1965.
