What is Operation London Bridge?

Every time a member of the British royal family dies, there are strict plans for what happens next, as happened with the death of the Duke of Edinburgh who was the queen’s consort. But none of these plans is more important than the one for the death of the head of state.

Operation London Bridge (each member of the royal family has their own code name) is basically the plan for the days following the death of the queen, something that will see the United Kingdom enter a period of official mourning. FILED UNDER: Queen Elizabeth Funeral

How will the operation begin?

The first thing that will happen is that UK government will be instructed to have flags lowered to half-staff within 10 minutes of the announcement and government officials will be instructed to show discretion.

London Bridge has fallen! This is the key phrase to announce that the British monarch has died. The royal family will issue an official statement notifying the nation of the death of the monarch. In this way, the royal family’s social networks were the first sources of information.

The announcement of the new king

Prince Charles will become king and address the nation on the day of his mother’s death. For her part, UK Prime Minister Liz Truss will be the first government official to publish an official statement.

Liz Truss appeared on television to announce Queen Elizabeth’s death. Prince Charles will begin a tour of the United Kingdom in the days leading up to her funeral, which will take place 10 days after the monarch’s death.

The people will be able to say goodbye to her

As stated in Operation London Bridge, the day of Elizabeth II’s death has been established as a national holiday and the London Stock Exchange will be closed. The BBC will cancel all scheduled comedy programming and, as happened after the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, special programming will air.

According to Excelsior, on the third day after her death, the new king will embark on an official tour of Scotland and Northern Ireland. The next day, on his return to London, he will accompany the queen’s coffin from Buckingham to Westminster, where Elizabeth II will remain for three days for her people to bid her farewell.
