Following on from the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Operation London Bridge began its meticulously planned process to ensure the nation could give a final farewell to their longest reigning Monarch.
Operation London Bridge has been one of the largest operations that the nation has ever seen. It has seen forces across the country collectively support the days of mourning and the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The Head of Counter Terrorism Policing, Matt Jukes, has thanked the public for their vigilance and support.
“It is difficult to put into words the scale of the policing operation over the last ten days, it has been nothing short of incredible.”
“Some of our activity will have brought our officers and the public shoulder to shoulder, other elements they won’t have seen, but hopefully they have been reassured by what they have witnessed.”
The response has seen a coordinated effort, not just across the public sector, but also from the private sector, who have been an integral part of the delivery, and continued to reinforce vigilance messaging across their sites and gave members of their staff the opportunity to pay their respects.
