LONDON: The leak document has revealed for the first time on Friday the extent to which a large operation will be launched in hours and days after the British Queen Elizabeth II died.
Details about what will happen under the code name “Operation London Bridge” leaked to the US ‘Politico’ news organization, who reported that officials would refer to the day the Queen died as “D days”.
The 95-year-old Monarch, who served the longest in British history, had to be buried 10 days after he died and his son and his heirs, Prince Charles, will begin a tour in the UK held.
According to the plan, the late sovereign coffin will lie in the country for three days in parliamentary homes, with the authorities anticipate hundreds of thousands of people to go down to London – trigger concerns over setbacks, policing, and even lack of food.
Extensive security operations have been planned to manage an unprecedented crowd and the chaos of travel is expected to lead his funeral.
One memo warned that London could be stretched to violate the point because hundreds of thousands of people walked to the British capital.
There will be services that should be “spontaneous” in the St Paul Cathedral, according to Politico, and Charles’s new king will travel four countries from the United Kingdom in the days after his death.
The British Prime Minister and the king are said to agree that his country’s funeral day will be a national day of mourning.
It will effectively be a holiday, although it is not described so.
Buckingham palace officials have refused to comment, both on leaks or plans.
In 2017, ‘The Guardian’ published a long article that revealed details about Operation London Bridge, which included how the king – Charles – will be proclaimed at the St James’s palace in the middle of royalties.
