The mammoth task of organising '100 state visits at once'
More than 300 officials have been redeployed from their usual jobs to handle the administration, working 24 hours a day.
Those with an invitation have also been told they can bring only one other person with them. That could be, say, either their partner or a head of government. So no entourage of hangers-on, no family members, no ministers. Other leaders are struggling to re-arrange their diaries - many were expecting to be in New York for the start of the United Nations General Assembly, which started on Tuesday. The prime minister of St Kitts and Nevis is having to send his foreign minister because the funeral falls on the same day as the country's independence commemorations.
The possibility of kings and emperors and heads of state taking collective transport has raised some eyebrows, but officials in Whitehall are unapologetic.
