Presidential Spokesperson Miuvaan Mohamed confirmed that President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has accepted an invitation from the UK to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away on September 8, Thursday.
Queen Elizabeth's funeral will take place in London on Monday afternoon, September 19.

The British government said only the head of state and his/her spouse would be allowed to attend the Queen's funeral. In their absence, only the representative sent by that country will be allowed.
The Queen will be buried in the courtyard of King George VI Memorial Chapel, Windsor Castle in London.
