“London Bridge” contains a plan of action, calculated for the next 10 days after the death of the queen. The operation specifies how the government will act, how the news of mourning will be reported, and how the queen’s coffin will be transported to London.
The document also tells about a number of meetings that are expected for Elizabeth II this fall, given the coronavirus pandemic.
The Department of Transport is concerned about the number of people who will also want to visit London in the event of the Queen’s death, which, for its part, could cause serious problems with the transport network. There are concerns about a shortage of stewards during possible riots.
The royal family’s website will change to a black page confirming Elizabeth’s death, and the new King Charles will address the nation at 6 p.m.
- D + 1 (day after death): The Queen’s coffin is transported to Buckingham Palace on D + 2. If she dies in Scotland, she will be taken to London;
- D + 3: new king to tour the UK;
- D + 6: the queen’s coffin will be in Westminster Palace;
The day of the death of Elizabeth II is likely to become a national mourning day.
