Council officers in Edinburgh were made to work 18-hour days as the capital came front and centre in the aftermath of the Queen's death, a councillor has claimed.
It comes amid calls for reassurance that the council will not be left "holding the bill" for Operation Unicorn, and for the total cost to the local authority to be detailed in a report.
Within hours of the announcement of the Queen's passing earlier this month council chiefs began logistical preparations for the arrival of the late monarch's coffin, the new King and other members of the Royal Family.
