Buckingham Palace has announced the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth. She died at the age of 96. She outlasted 12 US presidents, She lived well and carried herself with grace and candor till she gave up this evening. May her soul rest In peace.

This series of events below has finally commenced this evening.

Operation London Bridge. That's the code name given to the plan in place for the days and weeks after Queen Elizabeth II's passing.

Her private secretary, The Right Honorable Edward Young, will immediately pass a message on to the acting prime minister at the time. That message will likely read "London Bridge is down." The prime minister will then set Operation London Bridge into action. Within minutes, the 15 governments outside of the UK where the Queen is head of state will be informed over a secure line. And that will be followed by the other 36 Commonwealth nations and leaders around the world. The gates of Buckingham Palace will then dawn a black-edged notice of the news. At the same time, a news flash will alert media around the world. Every media outlet is prepared for the news. Every radio station has a network of lights that will flash to indicate a national catastrophe such as this. All BBC shows will stop and proceed to run a feed dedicated to the news. Newsreaders will change into the black suits and clothing that is on hand at all times in the news studio, and the traditional red BBC News branding will turn black. Newspapers, TV channels, and radio stations have days of coverage ready to go. Read more https://www.marketgists.com/the-end-of-an-era
