I have literally no love for the Police, much less the Metropolitan Police. However, it really hit me in the 'feels' when a Met Constable, policing the assembled crowds in full dress uniform, witnessed the Coffin of Our Late Majesty passing behind, took his eyes off the crowd for a split second, to bow his head in reverence and respect.....WELL DONE, CONSTABLE! ❤❤❤
It’s amazing to see so many women commanding and being the face of this huge event. Thank you HM The Queen for making such a difference in the uk and the world
I noticed that the whole team was women! There were times during the various processions and ceremonies that women seemed to be more present. I think the Queen would have been very pleased with this, and with Anne in uniform as well. There was a strong presence of women in the Coronation, too. Good changes all.
Fantastic film, showcases the very best of policing
It's nice to see women holding top ranks in British Police! Bravo! Great work!
Shows the best of the British policing. Well done to everyone involved!
I bet it certainly does.
Some username on you

All women. So PC.
At least they took a break from terrorising people with dissenting opinions.
I’ve been watching videos of Her Majesty for a while now, and I realised something. She was much like my grandmother, who died in late December 2022
I saw the funeral on TV from japan and I saw many police officers wiped their tears during the procession. Well done.
We are fortunate to have these people protecting us.
Their service was a beautiful honor to GB’s greatest Monarch
You done the queen and country proud.
Much respect from the USA
Well done The British Police, you did Britain 🇬🇧 👏 proud on such a Historic day.
Great to see the Women were the Commanders
This was a magnificent piece of policing. Certainly did the whole country proud
I had the pleasure and honour of policing the funeral at Windsor for mutual aid and was massively impressed by the organisation and professionalism seen for my few days there. I took a disposable black and white camera to capture some moments and was also fortunate enough to bow my head to the queen as she passed by to her final resting place. It was an honour.
And to echo the sentiments in the video, the public were incredible and showed Britain and the members of the public from around the world in the best possible light.
Well done to all involved in organising an unprecedented time in our lives and for it to have gone so smoothly and positively.
Thank you for your service!
Im trying to watch this, I just can't yet. My heart is still broken. Grief is an individuaI experience. I have no words to truly express my personal feelings of loss without sounding selfish. I've saved this upload in my files. One day I will watch it. Just not ready yet. Oh, my heart! My Queen...my sweet Lillibet 💔

From the time of conception in planning such an event and the complexities involved is enormous and not something anyone in 'normal' life can conceive, then when the time comes all those plans come into fruition and carried out so spectacularly is an absolute credit to our police and all services involved and our country as a whole. Sadly our present monarch will not have the benefit of such a long reign but, planning for Kings Charles funeral will have been in existence for many years and will, eventually when the time comes, be excellently dealt with in the same manner. Truly outstanding duty by all and no words are enough to say thank you.
She would be so proud of them all.
I'm American and have great respect for the UKs police. They are different for sure, don't use violence. I watched all 10 days of her funeral. She is sorely missed.
I was about to write a VERY similar comment but you said it well so I concur.
They don’t use violence!!!!!!!
Wonderful film. Congratulations to all involved in Operation London - job well done. Thank you for sharing this film.
Fantastic, thanks to all UK police for your respectful service
You must get a different service from the rest of us
Absolutely magnificent…and whenever they bowed their heads, it touched my heart.
My compliments to the British Police. I have followed it here from The Netherlands. And was amazed by how everything went according (how we called here in The Netherlands) true British style.
Well done again voicing what everyone else has expressed what an amazing job you did thank you , you all worked tirelessly, the queen being brought home the motorcyclists please all bowing their heads was so moving 😢
As an American, I watched in awe at how well you handled such a massive event. It was a very bittersweet time and you all did such an amazing job. Thank you for sharing this story with us.
Nice comment but, for us peasants, it’s a VERY DIFFERENT STORY. Eco idiots are allowed to impede us just trying to get to work!
You should live here…..there not that awesome
One is often aware of how much is done behind the scenes, but I had no idea how much. It was humbling to see, but the acknowledgement of the top officers to all that worked to ensure the day went off so well is similar to King Charles turning up to acknowledge the police.. Well done everyone.
Absolutely top notch by the Met - those boys and girls did us all proud. Special thanks to Commander Findlay - you can really see in her eyes the passion for the job and for her officers.
I was one of the volunteer marshalls for the laying-in-state queue and there was such a wonderful sense of team work between all the different organisations involved.
I wanted to give a special thanks to the officers that were posted around the exit of Westminster Hall on Saturday and Sunday. It was a very strange mood. On one side of the road were crowds of people cheering all the VIP's, in stark contrast to the public exiting the Hall, who were often very upset, exhausted and reflective. Meanwhile they also had to facilitate the arrival and departure of dozens of groups from heads of state to grieving family members. And to top it off there was also a bunch of TV and print media situated in the same space too. Very hard to judge the management of that area (the distance of only one side of Parliament Square). Something like no other. Thank tou for all the hard work.
There are only three words that describe our entire Police Force across the Country -
DONE TO PERFECTION
Oh please
You clearly have not been paying attention to the news recently
I wish I could say the same, unfortunately that’s not how it is
The ignorance and/or delusion is astounding
The Metropolitan Police is one of the oldest police forces in the world and had such an important role but no one noticed while the funeral and mourning took place. They did their job quietly and efficiently. No doubt they were in mourning too but they did their job. Great video.
The oldest*
The Malta Police force predates the Met Police as does the Thames River Police..
As was said, just showing the police force at its finest!
What an incredible operation 👏
Always 'planned', but never actually been put into practice!
Hats off to you all ❤
Very nice PR and very respectful to our late Queen. However, when will some of this “gold” and “silver” earnestness see officers patrolling my road Grove Park NW9? Drug dealing, hookers, burglaries and the elderly being knocked down. Do not refer me to The Borough of Brent. They say it’s the Mets domain. Well then step up.
@BubblesSeven
Good to know that 👍
Thank you, the army & all those involved for giving your country & the rest of the world a chance to say goodbye with dignity to the much beloved & respected late Queen. The effort is much appreciated.
We are so proud how so respectfully, compassionately and professionally you were that day. Thank you.
Excellent presentations. Need more of these of what you do Once again brought a tear to my eyes seeing the Queen pass by. So sad and a massive loss to our country . God Bless her and may she continue to rest in peace.
Watching this, makes me so proud to be British. Our police forces up and down the country, our very own thin blue line showing the world how it's done. You'll for ever have my respect for the sometimes thankless job you do, day in day out, trying to keep us all safe. Thank you.
You're the best. Great films and thank for all
Nice video, shows glimps of behind the scenes.
Hope to see more videos from officers, Sgts and Inspectors prespective on the grounds and boroughs.
Outstanding job, well done and thank you 🙏
Brilliant film showing how the U.K. can be the best well done to all of those evolved in the planning and execution of London Bridge. Thank you for sharing
Oh My God! What a beautiful documentary. I am an emergency manager here in the US and this popped up on my feed and I am soooo glad I took the time to watch. What a beautiful and informative show. I am a huge Anglophile and love the UK and the Monarchy. You all did such a wonderful job not only helping Her Majesty, but also her family and keeping all your citizens safe. I was moved to tears watching. Great work. I know you have challenges ahead with the Kings Coronation, but I have NO DOUBT that it will go off without a hitch from a security standpoint. Keeping you all in my thoughts and thank you for sharing this with us. With much love from Connecticut. 🥰
Brilliant job. Much respect.❤😢 Such a sad, poignant video. ❤❤❤
A superb job done by London’s finest 👍🇬🇧🏴👍
Incredible and impeccable delivery. The work and attention to detail behind the scenes is mind boggling.
Thank you for your service and hard work.
Yall did an amazing job!!!
Such a beautifully arranged and edited video
I was in hospital, in bed when I heard she died but was just discharged home and watched her funeral. You all did such a tremendous job. A true example of great teamwork and showing of excellence. ❤ from America
Bravo ladies. Bravo everyone involved ❣️
I was breathless for 60 seconds in the moment it was announced she passed😭
Great video!
As a current police officer in the United States I want to say excellent job to all the British police involved in this. I watched the procession live, and it was incredibly touching and moving to witness.
I filed past on the first day of the lying in state and thought the police did a great job. Your partners also did a great job as well who made sure there were sufficient toilets and the like. I help run a local event in my town and I know how much effort it takes for that. So I can well imagine the 10000% effort you had on your hands. Good luck for the coronation.
Well done guys. Top job👍
Beautiful.
my former boss for 10 years may she rest in peace, god save the king
The whole operation was a mammoth task, but all of you delivered the best final service to Her Late Majesty. I can't thank you enough for keeping everyone safe and most of all securing the smooth travel of the body of our Late Sovereign all the way from Scotland, through London to Windsor.
This is amazing. I love how the Met worked closely with partners. Yous are incredible human beings ❤
From Australia 🇦🇺
Perfectly done!
Its mental how nothing serious happened. I don't think anyone else really realises what actually happened behind the scenes
Ngl that's so true
An excellent film showing the very valuable contribution executed so well by the Met.
Thank you
Thank you all very much!
Respect to all the officers.
Coming from an American, you all are outstanding!
Was the motorcycle outriders bowing of heads planned or spontaneous?
Either way it was such a powerful gesture that really summed up the mood of the nation at the time. Especially those in uniformed service, in that they did their duty and only when that duty was finished were they really able to mark their respect.
That was in the script.
I also was to say a hugh well done to everyone behind the scenes in ACR, directing and commanding on the ground, dealing with any 00 Activations, and relaying across airwave to the thousands of officers providing protection, Intel, spotters ect. Without you guys, Gold and Silver, call handlers, Comms teams, it wouldn't have worked as efficiently. You did an outstanding job, in what was a mammoth task.
Well done guys ❤
1:21 I got chills. What a dramatic moment!
What a wonderful Queen, she saw us through such a tumultuous period of history. We shall not see her like again 💔
Great job all
Thank you for keeping us save!❤ Thank you for doing your service!❤ BLUE LIVES MATTER!! 💙💙
Nice to see.
I was on the Mall for the funeral. I’ve never felt so safe nor seen so many coppers. It was perfectly orchestrated.
The British police are one of the coolest and most chilled force..they got no pressure..they are very swift❤❤
well done there are more good cops than bad cops in the UK
Thought I was watching a new episode of the mandalorian with that intro 😂
The met have had some very bad press in recent times, and rightly so, due to the evil few being found amongst them, and no doubt more to come. The vast majority of them are hard working, honest, dedicated to keeping everybody safe, and very good at their job. Everybody from senior management to those lining the route did a perfect job at the funeral.
best of British 🥹🥹🤍. Missing her Majesty as well
For all the criticism aimed at the Met (some of it valid), I hope people watch this and realise that whilst there are pockets of problems; these are just some of the fantastic and dedicated officers that protect us every single day. The police deserve our respect and support every day.
What a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful woman she was, i wouldnt wish for a burden she carried until death. You will always be my queen.
interesting choice of youtube tutorial music
Can we take a moment to apprecate that the police who handled this event were mourning the loss of their queen as well. Yet, they still delivered their best. They also handled the worst day in policing history and they did it well. All, while mourning their Queen :)
Policing of the Century.
We all shall miss her so much to come.
🏰👑⚔️🇬🇧⛪✝️➕🏴🤴👸🏴🚓🚔
There will be a big scale for the kings sworn in as king. Sadly I still miss the Queen. I don’t feel so close to Charles. William & Catherine and the children I’m very fond of. Sadly Catherine wasn’t there at the Queens side. She was very close to the Queen. Excellent the police force d😢though. Just wished people would not attack officers.
Thank you.
R.I.P Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the II.
70 Years Regin on The Throne of The UK and The Commonwealth 1952-2022.
Elizabeth 1926-2022.
Final resting place at Windsor Castle, down in the Valut of St George's Chapel.
Operation London Bridge is Down was conducted superbly and the production qualities of this film are similarly excellent: if only the Met could get the day-to-day basics within a smidgen of the same level. Let us hope Commander Millichap is now sorting out her command, which until recently employed both P.C. Wayne Couzens, rapist and murderer, as well as P.C. David Carrick, multiple rapist. And may the new Commissioner please be successful in rooting out the worst of the officers who are corrupt, the racists, misogynists, homophobes, or simply incompetent...
The MET has had some bad press. But it's great to share a moment of our nations history, the fanatic job which was job by all members of all police officers from around the UK & overseas
each senior royal has operational plans for each occasion the ones most commonly set in stone all the funeral plans all the planners need to do is put in dates times and the personnel.
The military well immediately assign units for the occasion the local training camps around London will cancel all bookings for training other than those taking part in each part of the arrangements they will come together pen practise and rehearse until nothing goes wrong and if it does there is a response and fix.
When the balloon goes up the person responsible for planning well I open up the appropriate file and then go down the list activating each stage in turn the biggest problem that I had with the queen was basically the personnel responsible or taking orders haven't gotten out obey them the junior rank and file being woked up with ideas which are not part of their station.
David Carrick, Wayne Couzens
Charles's Beloved Mother.
Great planning and great you managed to find a handful of officers that arnt complete wrongens 👍🏼

Can I just say I was on the March for Palestine yesterday in London and the Met police dealt with the whole situation with professionalism, they were there keeping security in a peaceful polite way, I got nothing but respect for the way they dealt with all the issues yesterday with bravery when the other groups got tough and they kept control and calm throughout the day and kept 100s of thousands safe. 👊 Respect
What are these comments man 😂😂😂
p.s. Met comm's team, you're not going to give me a love, are you...
What a spectacular job done by the MET and many other agencies.
💯 real
As an American, the Met looks like it did a wonderful job pulling this off. I didnt notice any unrest. Sadly, because of the political divide in the US, when a former President passes away, the radicals come out of the woodwork with the media as the facilitator. Its embarrassing.
Which flavour of radicals?
Did the police spokesperson think the queen at 96 years old think that the queen would live forever
I thought she'd make to at least 100, but when Philip died I gave her a year. She stayed to do her duty by the new Prime Minister and then took to her bed, her work done. I was born with her as Queen as was that Commander; of course you know she's going to die, but in your mind you really just don't want her to.
