London: After the Metropolitan Police force called Queen Elizabeth II's funeral its largest-ever operation, now the Civil Service has said the same. Government sources say all those involved view their part in the proceedings as a "privilege" and a "genuine honour", the BBC reported.
There are more than 100 civil servants working shifts on the central operational team handling events related to the Queen's death, with efforts headed up by the permanent secretary at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
