This may have been posted already. This is long, but a really interesting read about the preparations for the ten days or so following the queen's death.

Insane planning, seemingly minute by minute at some point (for example making sure that processions get to their destination just as soon as clocks begin to chime on the hour), what the BBC will say once the song currently playing finishes, exactly how the various other royals will be shepherded around etc.
Apparently people have been meeting very regularly for years to rehearse all the various points of the plan.
