Bob Broadhurst says royal family’s desire to be close to public is an ‘absolutely frightening’ prospect
The Queen’s funeral and lying-in-state presents the biggest security challenge of its kind the UK has ever faced, a former head of public order at the Metropolitan police has said.
Bob Broadhurst, who served as gold commander for the wedding of Prince William and Catherine and for the London 2012 Olympics, said the authorities faced “headaches” ranging from terror threats to protests to crowd collapses.
