Biden signs book of condolences at UK embassy in Washington

US President Joe Biden has signed a book of condolences at the UK embassy in Washington, DC, after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro, reporting from the US capital, said Biden also had issued a lengthy statement earlier in the day, praising the British monarch.

“He called her a stateswoman of unmatched dignity,” Zhou-Castro said. “He also went on to describe her as the first monarch who really gained worldwide significance and fame, really capturing the imagination and the admiration of Americans.”
