Colleague claims her friend’s son who is a police officer was stationed at TECA, Aberdeen’s exhibition centre, from the morning of the day the Queen died until after her coffin had left Aberdeen. Apparently this was a 24 hour, round the clock guard, by lots of junior police officers and soldiers - but the reason for it was never explained to those undertaking it. None of them were briefed on why they were guarding the building.
Why would this be? I don’t for a second believe the Queen was in the exhibition centre, as has been suggested by colleague. She indicated that the convoy we watched on that Sunday morning was a decoy. It has bothered me for months though. TECA is very close to Aberdeen airport, wondered if it might relate to the movements of the RF. But then, would the soldiers and officers not be told why they were there?
