Did a crowd in central London chant "F*** Joe Biden" when the U.S. president's motorcade got stuck in traffic on the way to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II? No, that's not true

The original video from September 19, 2022, the day of the funeral, was overdubbed with audio from another place and time.
The claim appeared in a TikTok video published on September 20, 2022 under the title "Even the British?
#britain #joe #joe biden
#biden #president #queen #queen elizabeth
#london #uk #democrat #republican #liberal #motorcade #wow #LikeAMonarch ."
It opened with text on screen saying:
Even the British are chanting F*** Joe Biden?
