London Bridge is falling down

[dormouse1953]

According to today's Guardian, when the queen dies, the prime minister will be informed with the code phrase, "London Bridge is down."

What happens, I wonder, if London Bridge does fall down and they have to inform the prime minister?

They say "The Queen is dead", obviously.

I knew it would be complicated, but that's a staggering degree of preparedness.

Now if this was Ancient Egypt the plan would include killing the cabinet (as the Queen's servants) and entombing them in her mausoleum, but I suspect that won't be the case here. Pity...
