An update to the plan for the Queen's death has emerged for churches across the country. Operation London Bridge is the protocol that will be activated when the monarch passes away.
It's been reported that leatherworks will make more muffles for church bells that will sound when the news of the head of state's death is announced, reports BirminghamLive. Central Council of Church Bell Ringers spokeswoman Vicki Chapman told the Mail on Sunday : “We have spent a lot of time talking to the Royal Household and Lambeth Palace about the day the Monarch passes, which we hope will not be any time soon.
“Adding muffles makes bells sound mournful, more like a hum –so they will sound like thud, thud, thud rather than dong, dong, dong. It is about paying due reverence to the service of the Monarch and commemorating her life.”
