The security operation for the Coronation, codenamed Operation Golden Orb, will also deploy facial recognition technology so that individuals of concern or those with outstanding warrants can be flagged to the police.
There will be 500 more police officers than there were at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, however the increased number of ‘VVIPs’ at the Coronation means a greater number of close protection officers will be required.
As well as the 11,500 officers deployed on Saturday 10,000 military personnel will be taking part in the ceremony.
