Still suprised how many people I've seen who are suprised the broadcasters have all these reports, obituaries and documentaries ready. They'll literally have had something in the event of the queen's death ready to go since 1952! Not to mention virtually every other major public figure. In fact they're doubtless preparing ones for Liz Truss already, as they aren't going to want to be caught unprepared if the serving prime minister dies suddenly.

Not only that but for these 10 days everything is pre planned and pre booked and pre arranged. 

Every event is part of the plan being rolled out by the government and the Palace so the 3 main TV broadcasters have been able to allocate resources for every bit of that. So everything from the announcement of the death to the funeral everything was ready to go. 

There's been a lot of planning going on, updated regularly and covering all scenarios. They get very complicated for the funeral, lots of cameras, going to lots of places. It's going to stretch the resources of the BBC in particular but because everything's pre-planned they know how many they need to have in the first place
