How Tight Will Security Be for the Coronation?

With an event of this magnitude, you just know security is gonna be tight. The secrutiy strategy, dubbed "Operation Golden Orb," is in full effect as police and other armed forces prepare for Saturday's celebrations.

Officers will line the procession route; snipers will be positioned nearby on rooftops; plainclothes police offers will walk among the crowds; blockades will be set up to stop vehicles from driving into spectators; and pavement barriers will be raised. In addition, screenings and armed patrols will take place. There is also a no-fly zone over central London for the occassion.
