Those muffled leather ...

According to the tradition of the British royal family, the death of each royal family will use the name of the bridge as a secret code. When Elizabeth II died, the official would use "the London Bridge" as a secret voice, and conveyed this deadline with the then British Prime Minister. Come to the public.

They will use "D DAY" as their replacement on the day of the Queen's death. Before the funeral, they are called "D+1" and "D+2" to call every day.

The "Operation London Bridge" was originally the highest confidential document in Britain, referring to a series of response measures taken by the British government after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. But as early as 2017 and 2021, they were disclosed by the Guardian and Politicians. The report also said that Queen Ying personally participated in the rehearsal of his own funeral, and had arranged after more than 10 years ago.

In fact, since the death of the Queen's father, George VI, in 70 years, 16,000 churches in the UK never sounded the bell of the death of the monarch. While the monarch's death and funeral, the bells of the church will sound. The royal family requires religious buildings across the United Kingdom to wrap the muffled leather when knocking on the bell, because this will make the bell more solemn and sad, "more like buzzing, not the sound of 咚", so as to express their respect for the monarch And nostalgia.

As the longest time in British history, in the 70 years of Elizabeth II's reign, the muffled leather rotted a lot. A 6 -minute church requires 12 muffled leather, each selling at about 45 pounds. The Daily Mail report said that since April this year, churches from all over the UK have rushed to replace the leather, and the leather factories in various places have been overwhelmed by the church orders.

National Funeral Day

The funeral of Elizabeth II will be held on the 19th in the Church of Westminster. Since 1066, this historic church has been a venue for the British king's crown ceremony. It has witnessed Elizabeth II's ascension in 1952 and also witnessed her 1947 wedding.

On the 19th, it was determined to be a public holiday in the UK. At the same time, the heads of state and dignitaries and dignitaries will be invited to participate in the funeral of the Queen of England, and the list has not yet been officially announced. However, the White House confirmed on the 11th that President Biden will accept invitations and go with the first lady Gil Biden.

According to media such as the United States "Politico", they have received a guidance document about the queen funeral rituals that the British Foreign Ministry sent to the embassies of various countries. The document shows that the British hopes that visitors from all over the country will be as streamlined as possible. In principle, only the heads and their spouses can be invited to participate in the funeral. If the head of state cannot participate, it can designate a representative of the country instead of attending. There are only two places to watch the gifts on the spot in each country, and other accompanying persons cannot enter the venue.

In addition, the document said that in order to avoid crowded the London airport and traffic, the invited attendees should fly to London by commercial flights and cannot take a private jet. If you insist on taking private planes, you need to go to the "less busy airport" around London by yourself, and the Hzhello Airport in London will not provide parking services.

Because on the 19th, there will be strict security measures and road governance in most parts of the city center of London, so the invited heads of state will not be able to use their own heads of state. Start with the bus together. The same is true of the return arrangement. Politico quoted a foreign ambassador to London in the report, saying, "Can you imagine Joe Biden sitting on a bus?" The ambassador was "accused" through WhatsApp.

However, these "rigorous" regulations in the UK seem to "open the back door" to Biden.

The Times reported on the 12th report that quoted sources close to British seniors that Biden had been allowed to air the "beast" from the United States to the United Kingdom from the United States, and he could take his own special car to participate in the funeral.

"Beast" is Cadillac, which is worth $ 1.5 million in US President, equipped with night vision cameras, Roya Vas bombs and 8 -inch armor. The wheels are inflatable explosion -proof tires, and they can continue to drive even if they are defled. In addition, there are advanced communication systems and oxygen systems to prevent emergencies.

In addition, French President Macron, Emperor Deren in Japan, and Israeli President Herzog are likely to be able to take his own car.

However, for other guests who participated in the funeral, the current plan of Britain is still: a bus.
