Operation Unicorn, the secret device if Queen Elizabeth II dies in Scotland

In the event of the death of the Queen of England in Scotland, there is a secret device, called Operation Unicorn (“Operation Unicorn”).

Worry gripped the UK on Thursday: the royal family gathered at Queen Elizabeth II’s bedside at Scotland’s Balmoral Castle, where she was placed under the supervision of her “concerned” doctors.

In the case of the death of the Queen of England in Scotland, there is a secret device, called Operation Unicorn (“Operation Unicorn”), which reveals the Herald on Sunday. This initially involves the suspension of the Scottish Parliament, while the authorities prepare for a state funeral.

The device also foresees that the remains of the queen are transported from Aberdeen to Edinburgh, in a train that travels at reduced speed. Members of the armed forces will greet you on the platforms of each station.

It is then at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, where the queen’s coffin will rest, before going to St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. It is also at the cathedral that Scottish dignitaries and members of the public will have the opportunity to pay their respects to the Queen and sign a book of condolences.

A device revealed by accident

According to the British media, the death of the queen could cause the arrival of several hundred people to pay their last respects. And one of the biggest challenges for the Scottish Parliament will be managing the influx of people to sign the book of condolences and salute the memory of the Queen.

The Queen’s coffin is then scheduled to leave Scotland again by train, on the royal train. It is at this time that the Operation Unicorn device ends.

the scottish specifies that the mechanism is updated twice a year, during meetings, in the Scottish Parliament. The minutes of one of these meetings were accidentally leaked, in 2019, in a forum of members of the Holyrood Palace team, revealing the existence of the device.

The global device planned in the event of the death of the queen has been baptized as Operation London Bridge. It was imagined in the 1960s to predict the course of the ten days after Queen Elizabeth’s death.
