Ahead of the committal service of Her Majesty the Queen in Windsor on Monday, Thames Valley Police will be carrying out a searching and screening of those coming to Windsor to pay their respects.

This includes search arches which will be in place in addition to the strict search regimes carried out by Police.

Thames Valley Police said:

"Windsor remains busy, so please plan you journey, be patient and leave large items at home, as you may not be able to get those through these security measures. If you plan to visit Windsor, clear your bag of unnecessary items to assist with searching.

"You will also see our search dogs, Mounted Section and Armed Response officers patrolling the town centre as part of many visible and not so visible security measures in place.

"Additional patrols extend beyond the town including our Roads Policing Unit, our partners including the Environment Agency will be out on the rivers and British Transport Police on the trains network."
