Thousands of Police Officers Deployed for Queen’s Funeral

a security nightmare that went off without a hitch remarkable considering the multitude gathering for the Queen's funeral the Royal Family exposed out in the open walking behind the coffin 500 world leaders Under One Roof Security Experts around the world marveled at how they managed to keep everyone safe how do you pull something like that off they had it covered and it went very well ten thousand police officers from across Great Britain were called up for Duty the streets were closed to traffic creating a 12-mile ring of Steel around the city garbage cans and manhole covers were checked for bombs and then sealed shut drones were banned with special technology in place to enforce the no-fly zone officers on rooftops kept watch with sniper rifles the most important things that were going on are things that we didn't see the intelligence the snipers who's ever in the air scoping the drones that are also watching everything in anything President Biden and first lady Jill arrived in the Beast his armored limo noticed the second decoy Beast they allowed the Beast and uh rightfully so it probably wouldn't have traveled without it the U.S president was the only leader with a motorcade all the others arrived by bus as the hers carrying the Queen's casket made its way through the British Countryside on onlookers threw flowers at it another major security concern someone could have thrown anything yeah I was surprised to actually see that that was allowed it must be tradition but there were officers every five to six feet facing the crowd again drones in the air spiders on the roofs there were security challenges all through the weekend as King Charles hosted a gathering at Buckingham Palace dubbed the reception of the century with 1 000 VIPs including the bidens but Harry and Megan were excluded apparently they were disinvited on the grounds that they are no longer working Royals one Insider is quoted as saying that the snub is absolutely Bonkers but author Tina Brown believes reports of a snub are overblown I don't think that there's been any point really in the last 11 days when Harry has in fact been dissed I think it's simply that he's now no longer a working Royal who's actually part of the ongoing Royal show so there's a inevitably a certain delicacy about the way he's included and where he isn't despite the slight the brothers appeared United in grief at this extraordinary vigil for the queen on Saturday night they led the Queen's grandchildren in a perfectly choreographed tribute both looking deeply moved as they stood by the Queen's casket their heads bowed Sunday night the entire nation came to a halt for two full minutes as they remembered their Queen foreign [Music]
