Introduction The purpose of Report is to ensure Councillors are aware of Operation London Bridge. What is Operation London Bridge? 2. National plans Operation London Bridge is the codename for the plan for what will happen in the days after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The plan was originally devised in the 1960s and is updated several times each year. It involves planning from government departments, the Church of England, Metropolitan Police Service, the British Armed Forces, media and Royal Parks of London. Some key decisions relating to the plan were made by the Queen herself, although some can only be made by her successor after her death. The phrase "London Bridge is down" will announce the death of the Queen to the Prime Minister and key personnel, setting the plan into motion. 3. Official Plan The Queen's private secretary will be the first official to handle the news. 23 The private secretary's first act will be to contact the Prime Minister, and civil servants will convey the phrase "London Bridge is down" using secure telephone lines. The Foreign Office's Global Response Centre, based at a secret location in London, will communicate the news to the governments of the 51 other countries that are part of the Commonwealth of Nations, of which the Queen is the Head. (Of the 51 other Commonwealth nations, 15 are additionally Commonwealth realms, of which the Queen is also head of state). The media would be informed via an announcement to the Press Association and the BBC through the Radio Alert Transmission System (RATS) and to commercial radio through a network of blue "obit lights" which will alert presenters to play "inoffensive music" and prepare for a news flash.
