The President published a rare proclamation in which he called on to reduce the nation's flags in order to mark the death of the queen, not only in the White House, but in all government buildings, messages and military bases around the world "until the sunset on the day of the funeral".
his command was in the entire United States and their territories and possessions as well as on ships of the US Navy.
In his edict, Mr. Biden said that it was a "sign of respect" for "a civil woman of unsurpassed dignity and durability, which deepened the fundamental alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States".
Nancy Pelosi, the spokeswoman for the House of Representatives, also ordered the flag to reduce the flags on the US capitol.
A spokesman for Ms. Pelosi said: "Spokesman Pelosi has ordered that the flags on the US capitol are being raised on half mast due to the death of her majesty."
