quiet and down really belies the sense of anticipation and color that we're seeing from inside westminster abbey of course is just because this event has been so meticulously planned, with hers hurls day and night for many weeks now. we've already seen some dignitaries and vips entered to the abbey. first, joe biden with her granddaughter, dressed in the colors of ukraine, blue and yellow, with ellen's alencia, again just underscoring the international significance of an event like this. we've also seen celebrities arriving, such as katy perry, who will be performing at the coronation concert tomorrow. also, some more controversial invitations, such as the vice president of china hangs then. over 90 heads of states, representatives of over 200 countries. it is really a unprecedented collection of individuals and underscores the soft power and diplomatic import of an event like this. we are also hoping to see, in the coming minutes, the first arrival of other senior figures and heads of state, as the british prime minister, of course leading up to the arrival of the royal family and the queen bei
