Leaked paperwork on Friday has revealed the extent of the large operation that might be launched within the hours and days after Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II dies.


Details of what’s going to occur beneath the codename “Operation London Bridge” had been leaked to US-headquartered information organisation Politico, which studies that officers will check with the day the Queen dies as “D Day”.


The 95-year-old monarch, the longest-serving in British historical past, is to be buried 10 days after she dies and her son and inheritor, Prince Charles, will embark on a tour of the UK earlier than the burial is held.


According to the plans, the late sovereign’s coffin will lie in state for three days on the Houses of Parliament, with authorities anticipating hundreds of individuals to descend on London—sparking fears over gridlock, policing and even meals shortages. An enormous safety operation has been deliberated to handle the unprecedented crowds and journey chaos, which are anticipated within the lead-up to her funeral.

One memo warns that London might be stretched to breaking level as the crowds make their way to the UK capital. There might be a supposedly “spontaneous” service at St Paul’s Cathedral, in line with Politico, and the brand new King Charles will tour the four nations of the United Kingdom within the days after her loss of life.

Buckingham Palace officials have declined to comment, either on the leak or the plans.
