What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Metropolitan Police is significantly reducing its policing presence at Trooping the Colour and other major royal ceremonial events, with a private security company expected to take over the majority of duties. These changes, which are set to take effect next month, follow discussions held between the Metropolitan Police and the Ministry of Defence.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The shift is driven by financial pressures on the Metropolitan Police and the need to return officers to frontline neighbourhood policing. Previously, the Metropolitan Police deployed officers to support military ceremonial events on approximately 17,800 occasions over the past 12 months, at an estimated cost of £10.6 million.
