Police booked 45,000 nights in hotel rooms in 10 days during the massive security operation following the death of the Queen, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has said.

The policing plan, the biggest the UK has seen, saw 10,000 officers and staff on duty on the day of the Queen’s funeral alone, with 3,000 officers drafted in to help from outside forces.
