President Nicos Anastasiades on Sunday signed the book of condolences for the Queen at Lancaster House in London near Buckingham Palace.

On Monday he will attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey accompanied by his wife Andri.

It was unclear if the Cyprus president was due to attend a reception later on Sunday at the palace being hosted by King Charles III for world leaders.

After attending events in London, Anastasiades will head to New York for the UN general assembly.
