Joe Biden waits for seat after apparent late arrival at Queen’s funeral

The US president, Joe Biden, and his wife, Jill, had to wait rather than being ushered immediately to their seats on their arrival at Westminster Abbey for the Queen's funeral. In order not to disrupt the finely tuned choreography, the first couple stood inside the entrance as a procession of George and Victoria Cross-holders went ahead of them in the nave of the abbey.
