Queen's Death Will Kick Off 'Operation London Bridge,' Activity Not Seen Since Days of George VI
From muted bells to a mourning tour, preparations are taking shape for the eventual passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
What’s known as “Operation London Bridge” will begin when the long reign of the 95-year-old queen comes to its close, according to The U.S. Sun.
As part of that, companies making leather goods across England are now preparing to make what are known as muffles for church bells.
Such items were last made in 1952, when King George VI, Elizabeth’s father, died. Any of Britain’s 16,000 churches that still have the ones from 70 years ago are likely to have little more than rotted pieces of leather.
“We have spent a lot of time talking to the Royal Household and Lambeth Palace about the day the Monarch passes, which we hope will not be any time soon,” Central Council of Church Bell Ringers spokeswoman Vicki Chapman said, according to the Daily Mail.

Charlie boy sure has aged, no?
As far as the Queen goes, God love her, no one needs to be told how beloved she is, and the deep loss her countrymen are going to feel. The mourning is going to be something else again.
