Albanese,Hurley and Wood were among the Australians to secure invitations to the funeral,despite a warning from the UK government that only one senior representative per country and their partner could attend given the limited capacity and overwhelming demand.
As a Commonwealth realm,the one representative limit did not apply to Australia.

The UK is inviting a representative from North Korea to attend the funeral,but Afghanistan,Syria and Venezuela will not be given an invitation,a foreign office source said.
The invitation for communist North Korea would be at an ambassadorial level. This means that North Korean leaderKim Jong-un will not attend. Pyongyang has an embassy in West London.
Syria and Venezuela would not be invited because Britain does not currently have diplomatic relations with those states. Afghanistan was not invited due to the current political situation.
They join Russia,Myanmar and Belarus in not being asked to attend.
Invites were also not sent to Belarus or Myanmar.
