    North Yorkshire Police has said policing levels in the Harrogate district "won't be adversely affected" despite officers being redeployed to London for the Queen's funeral.

    The state funeral of Elizabeth II will take place at Westminster Abbey on Monday. About 10,000 police officers are expected to be in the capital in the days leading up to the funeral and during it.

    The Met has drafted in officers from around the UK to boost security, including both specialist and general officers from North Yorkshire Police.

    The Stray Ferret asked the force how many officers based in the Harrogate district will be in London but it said it was unable to give a figure due to "operational reasons".

    Assistant chief constable Elliot Foskett said NYP will allocate officers in the district "in a way that does not adversely affect the level of policing the public."

    He said:

    “Like other police forces, North Yorkshire Police is supporting the Metropolitan Police in helping to deal with the significant challenges for them at this very difficult, and very sad time.
    "We are providing both specialist and general duties police officers to work alongside other national colleagues to ensure the safety of the public visiting the capital to pay their respects."
