- This is a list of dignitaries at the state memorial service of Nelson Mandela, the former President of South Africa. Mandela died on 5 December 2013. Many heads of state and government attended the state memorial service on Tuesday, 10 December 2013 at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. The memorial service was one of the largest gatherings of world leaders. It was also the largest funeral in the history of South Africa, and the African continent itself. Two UN Secretary-Generals, the presidents of the European Council and European Commission, two French presidents, four United States presidents and four UK prime ministers attended the funeral service. In total, more than 500 VIP dignitaries from 19 supranational organizations and approximately 190 countries had arrived for this event. Some of the dignitaries later attended the burial ceremony on 15 December 2013 at Mandela's hometown, Qunu. This memorial event was one of the largest in the world in terms of foreign leaders, surpassing the funeral of Pope John Paul II in 2005. It was itself surpassed by the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on 19 September 2022. (en)
