Queen's funeral security is the biggest challenge Met is 'ever likely to undertake'

While the country has been mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II, London's Metropolitan Police have been working round the clock to prepare themselves for the biggest challenge they are 'ever likely to undertake' - Her Majesty 's funeral. From terror attacks to crowd crushes, the police force has had to prepare for the worst - and they've recruited in officers from almost every force in the country to help.

World leaders, including Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron are set to attend the service on Monday, September 19, alongside global VIPs, senior politicians, foreign royals, and of course the rest of our Royal Family. Stuart Cundy, London's Metropolitan Police deputy assistant commissioner, said preparing for the funeral has been a task like no other - and that he doubts they'll ever face a bigger challenge.
