The day of the Queen’s funeral marked the climax of what is being regarded as the biggest security operation the UK has ever seen.
Huge crowds, royalty and a long list of world leaders and other dignitaries all needed to be kept safe as part of the mammoth job facing thousands of police officers.
Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy said “nothing can compare” with the “hugely complex” task, describing it as the “largest policing operation” in the Met’s history. Monday signalled the “final and most complex phase” of the operation after the death of the Queen, he said.
