Wow - that's cool. I found the whole thing fascinating - particularly about how much of the stuff they'll be doing just isn't really in living memory any more.
I'm no royalist and won't be involved in any of the processions or whatever; I'm sure there'll be loads of people that will go on about how it shouldn't be treated any different to any other old woman dying. But the event itself is obviously immense and there must be such a cascade of planned 'stuff' to be done, exactly like you're describing.

When Di's body (#forevainRhearts #englandsrose) was going up to be buried, we popped down to watch it go past as it was 5 mins away from where we were living in the midlands and it was a chance to cycle on the M1 in the middle of the day. Good picnic and a few beers IIRC.

If he or she pops their clogs in Sandringham, Balmoral, Windsor or London each of those forces has an operation order for their responsibilities. As the days go by the geographical responsibility changes until the internment at Windsor. It will be a time of "great mourning" and even greater overtime earned. Each Christmas one or other of them has a funny turn so the op order gets dusted off and edited.

In my previous job, every year, I updated and overhauled the police search response as part of Op London Bridge and Forth Bridge (DofE) in relation to Windsor. Route searches, unoccupied premises, drains and manholes, temporary structures et al.
There will be free camping alongside the river on Home Park (public) for when the Queen goes in case you're interested.
