There was a earlier incident too apparently but i was home in time from work to see that one

That's 2500 people a hour on average and as there were 2 sides 1250 each. Thats roughly 20 people per minute on each side shuffling past. If you allow for the 20 min guard changes which is around 1/4 the total time and a bit more for the 4am cleaning session you are around 30 people per minute per side which seems faster than what i saw.

Big question is what will the viewing figures end up at. 1 is World Cup 66 (32.4 mill) and 2 is Diana's funeral (32.1 mill) on the all time list. Diana's worldwide figure was estimated at 2-2.5 billion. Worldwide one I can see being beaten and being even with the early start for the US. National one too but prob not by a lot. Also why did Mike TIndall have medals on? I assume he got some from being married into the Family now?

If you believe the media etc there are also a load of SAS in the near area ready to act. But yes there will be a huge number of police both uniform and non uniform plus military in and out of uniform (mostly in but i bet there will be some out of uniform) on top of the secret service and Israeli lot covering there two high profile clients. I usually watch these sort of things for the spectacle and the historic oldness of the way things have always been done. I wonder how much input @SouthCoastRed had into the various ancient traditions the UK have. Lord Mayor's show is always a good one for historical weirdness.
