Nigerian Vice President, Osinbajo Arrives In London Ahead Of Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral (Photos)

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has arrived in London to represent Nigeria at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.

The monarch, who died on September 8 at the age of 96, is to be buried on Monday.

Osinbajo, who left Nigeria on Saturday, is also expected to hold a bilateral meeting with James Cleverly, Britain’s Foreign Secretary.

Queen Elizabeth, who was enthroned in 1952 after the death of her father, was the longest-reigning monarch in British history.

The Queen’s funeral has been touted as the largest in British history, coming close only to that of the nation’s former Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who died in 1965.
