‘Operation London Bridge’: how the UK bid farewell to HM Queen Elizabeth II with lie and funeral

public A crown It will be known that “Operation London Bridge” has already been launched, a term used to describe the complex plan of what will happen after the death of the British monarch.

After the Queen died yesterday at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, her eldest son immediately became King Charles III. He today he will address the nation before returning to London with his wife Camilla, now queen consort.

The Queen’s coffin will be placed in London and Westminster Hall, where thousands of her subjects will be able to pay homage to the past.

Since the Queen Mother died in 2002, more than 200,000 people have come to assist her in the same place.

Sometimes in the next two weeks, on a hastily organized public holiday for the whole country, the Queen’s funeral will take place in Westminster Abbey, a few hundred meters from the hall.

The abbey is associated with many royal events. The Queen married there in 1947 and was crowned in 1953. It was the site of Princess Diana’s funeral in 1997 and the Queen Mother’s funeral in 2002.

The new king, other members of the British royal family and public figures are expected to join heads of state from around the world. New British Prime Minister Liz Truss, who met the Queen at Balmoral just three days ago, should learn a lesson.

The queen’s coffin will be moved from Westminster Abbey to St George’s Chapel in Windsor, where the monarch will be buried along with her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. St George’s was the site of her funeral last year, as well as the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2018.

Although his son Carlos is now King Carlos III, his official coronation will take months. He spent more than a year between the queen’s accession to the throne in February 1952 and her coronation in the summer of 1953.
