Given that this has come up in the thread, though I hope this isn't going to the case on this occasion, I shall share this interesting Long Read (8,000 words) article from March 2017 on The Guardian's website about "London Bridge" - the secret plan for the days after the Queen's death, which also mentions "Forth Bridge", the plan the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh). Quite a few of the things mentioned in this thread are mentioned in it. I shan't quote it, as there isn't really one section to sum up the article, apart from the subheading included in the link.
This is also available as a in audio form (45 minutes long) from their Long Read podcast, which I would recommend if you have the time:
'London Bridge is down': the secret plan for the days after the Queen’s death
The long read: She is venerated around the world. She has outlasted 12 US presidents. She stands for stability and order. But her kingdom is in turmoil, and her subjects are in denial that her reign will ever end. That’s why the palace has a plan.
