The queen of England was slated to be the first person to lay the wreath on Saturday's annual Royal British Legion festival, a military party that celebrates the end of World War 1. Initial reports indicate that both the queen and the Prime Minister David Cameron were made aware of the plots to kill queen Elizabeth over the weekend.
The queen's schedule involved various tours in the city this weekend. It was alleged that part of the plots to kill Queen Elizabeth would have been at one of her various stop overs. The 4 terrorists had planned a knife attack against the beloved 88 year old who has been at the helm of the throne for 5 decades.
Police investigations and multiple conducted raids led to the arrest of the 4 terrorists who vary in age from 19 to 27. They were also armed with fire arms in case the knife arrest proved unsuccessful.
The queen is still slated to be the first wreath layer this Sunday on the Rememberance celebration, following a two minute silence. The queen has maintained that she will be on attendance.
Security will be on high alert this weekend following the plot to kill Queen Elizabeth 2 surfacing. It is, however, not the first time the Queen's life has been targeted. In Australia, in 1970, the queen and her husband King Phillip were slated to have been targeted for murder when a log was placed before their rail track in the hope that their train would hit the log and roll over. The plots to kill Queen Elizabeth 2 proved unsuccessful.
