部長們首次就女王去世進行演練，為為期10天的全國哀悼日做準(zhǔn)備。

The run-through, apparently known as Castle Dove, saw Cabinet ministers and Whitehall officials discuss 'D+1', the day after the monarch's death.

據(jù)報道，該計劃被稱為“倫敦橋”。在這周92歲的女王因病缺席了圣保羅大教堂的活動，盡管這并不是針對她的健康狀況的而產(chǎn)生的擔(dān)憂。

據(jù)《星期日泰晤士報》的報道，這是政客們第一次在同一間屋子里與公務(wù)員一起討論這項計劃，其中甚至涉及首相的全國講話。

去年，《衛(wèi)報》報道了許多關(guān)于女王去世后的細節(jié)，這將會促使整個樞密院集體宣布新君主。
