The royal family has a special plan in place whenever Queen Elizabeth II dies that dates back to the 1960s.
Titled Operation London Bridge, the plan reportedly lists what will happen in the United Kingdom following the monarch’s death, including how her death will be announced to the public.
Once the news of her death is made public, the UK will go into a period of mourning over the next 10 days as her funeral arrangements are made.
Per Politico, the state funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey, before she is moved to her final resting place Windsor Castle’s King George VI Memorial Chapel.
