CUMBRIA police will be 'supporting the ongoing national policing operation' around the state funeral that will be held for the late Queen Elizabeth early next week.
The state funeral will take place next Monday, September 19 with a national Bank Holiday being held for the day.
The force has not confirmed whether officers will be sent to London, but said that they will be supporting the national operation as they do 'throughout the year', but that the safety of people in the county 'remains a priority'.
A Cumbria Constabulary spokesperson said: “Cumbria Constabulary, like many police forces, will be supporting the ongoing national policing operation.
“The Constabulary support policing operations outside of the county throughout the year as part of national agreements.
“Our communities in Cumbria can be assured the safety of people in our county remains a priority.”
