Updated with latest attendees, livestream link: President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, will attend Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, underscoring how one of the biggest social nights of the year for Beltway media and politicos has lasted despite predictions of its demise.
The sold-out event at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night also is expected to draw celebrities and other notables, with attendees scheduled to include John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, as well as the Tennessee state lawmakers who were ousted, then reinstated, for their protest over gun violence. Roy Wood Jr., correspondent for The Daily Show, will headline the event. He will follow Biden’s stand-up material — and given the media events of the week, there will be plenty of material.

Biden went to the British Embassy in Washington on Thursday to sign a condolence book. He was joined by First Lady Jill Biden and the British ambassador to the United States, Karen Pierce.
The president also ordered that U.S. flags be flown at half-mast until the late Queen’s interment.
In 1952, for the state funeral of George VI, Secretary of State Dean Acheson represented the United States as President Harry Truman did not attend. General Dwight Eisenhower, who was elected president later that year, did attend.

Sir Christopher Meyer, the UK’s former ambassador to the US, has died aged 78.
UK press reported that Sir Christopher died after suffering a stroke while on holiday in the French Alps.
The long-time diplomat’s six years in Washington came during the Bill Clinton and George W Bush eras of presidency. He was sent to Washington by UK prime minister Tony Blair, and was in post during the 9/11 attacks.
