Biden went to the British Embassy in Washington on Thursday to sign a condolence book. He was joined by First Lady Jill Biden and the British ambassador to the United States, Karen Pierce.
The president also ordered that U.S. flags be flown at half-mast until the late Queen’s interment.
In 1952, for the state funeral of George VI, Secretary of State Dean Acheson represented the United States as President Harry Truman did not attend. General Dwight Eisenhower, who was elected president later that year, did attend.
