Politicians and dignitaries from all around the world attended the funeral at Westminster Abbey to honor the British monarch who died earlier this month at the age of 96. Oh was among them as part of a delegation from Canada.
Oh’s invitation to the funeral came after she was made a member of the Order of Canada earlier this year. The Order, which was founded by the late Queen in 1967, recognizes “people who make extraordinary contributions to the nation,” according to the website for the governor-general of Canada.
Oh was awarded the honor in June for her “artistic career filled with memorable stage, television and film roles in Canada and abroad.”
The Golden Globe-winning actress has had notable roles in series such as “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Killing Eve.”
Videos of the Canadian actor walking with the procession have gone viral online.

Last week, according to the Daily Mail, Canadian president Justin Trudeau announced Oh would be part of the delegation during a special address in a session of Canada’s House of Commons.
Trudeau himself and his wife led the delegation from Canada which included musician Gregory Charles and Olympic swimmer Mark Tewksbury, who are also members of the Order.
The adventurer Bear Grylls was another notable celebrity at the event. He attended as a representative of the Scouts organization.
