Implementation of operation London Bridge.
[edit]While Operation London Bridge was the plan if the Queen died within the UK, Operation Unicorn was the plan to be carried out if the Queen were to pass away in Scottland. Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96, in Balmoral Castle[1]. After confirming the Queen's death, the Scottland police deployed officers in many different places with the goal of ensuring the king's protection as well as escorting the queen's body to Edinburgh airport where she would be flown back to the UK and subsequent parts of the plan will continue.[2].
Police required to protect world leaders at the Queen's funeral.
[edit]Following her funeral, the police officers that were tasked with protecting world leaders returned home, Chief superintendent Graham Bell, who was in charge of the operation, said, "I am extremely proud of the way the CNC again swung into action at this time of national mourning."[3]. In preparation for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, thousands of metropolitan police officers as well as over 2,000 other officers from all across the UK were allocated to various roles, some were even called to protect the world leaders who would attend the funeral[4].
How the police handled the death of the Queen.
[edit]Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the number of arrests significantly decreased, with only 13 arrests across the entire duration of the operation. Scotland Police Chief, Constable Sir Iain Livingstone, thanked the officers and staff for "successfully delivering a safe and secure operation following the death of Her Majesty the Queen”[5]. Following the arrival of the queen's body, the UK police sent out thousands of officers to help transport her body to a secure location. Furthermore, it became some of the busiest days ever at Horse Guards Parade, due to the astounding amount of people who came to pay respects for the late monarch.[6].
Reaction to leak.
[edit]In September of 2021, over a year before the queen's passing, the plans for operation London bridge were leaked to Publico news.[7]. following the leak, it became clear that the royal household was not happy about the leak. They were not the only ones unhappy about the situation, Angela Levin, the royal author, also had something to say on the topic "I think it is awful and cruel to release the top-secret plans about the Queen's death. where are our morals?"[8].
