OTTAWA - Prime Minister Stephen Harper has left for London for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
He is scheduled to arrive there in the evening, local time.
Harper will arrive too late today to attend the procession down the river Thames of a 1,000-ship flotilla led by the Queen's royal barge.
But he will attend a televised concert at Buckingham Palace on Monday night featuring Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Elton John, as well as the lighting of the national beacon.
The prime minister's office says Harper will also attend a Tuesday service at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Queen and the Royal Family.
On Wednesday, the prime minister will join other Commonwealth leaders at a luncheon and be on hand for the unveiling of a new portrait of the Queen.
