Sandra Oh attended Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as part of The Order Of Canada, which was established by Queen Elizabeth back in 1967. It is described as “the cornerstone of the Canadian Honours System and recognizes outstanding achievement, dedication to the community, and service to the nation” (per Canada.Ca). In June, Oh, who has dual U.S. and Canadian citizenship, was appointed as an Officer of The Order of Canada, the second-highest honor a civilian can receive, according to BBC News.
Prior to the queen’s funeral, Trudeau announced that Oh would be among those who made the trip with him to London to attend. “In addition, the Canadian delegation will include members of the Order of Canada Mark Tewksbury, Gregory Charles, and Sandra Oh and Cross of Valour recipient Leslie Arthur Palmer,” Trudeau said in a statement. “They will participate in a procession of recipients of national honours as part of the service.”
