Westminster security chiefs had to stop royal obsessives trying to access the Queen’s lying-in-state, a top parliamentary official has revealed.
Parliament’s security director Alison Giles told how people with a “fixation” were “managed” to prevent them seeing the late monarch's coffin in the run-up to her funeral.
Addressing the Royal United Services Institute think tank, Ms Giles was asked about preventing “fixated individuals” trying to target MPs around the Westminster estate.
