History

Historical Context

The Provisional IRA’s 10 April 1992 truck bomb at the Baltic Exchange killed three people, injured 91 and caused about £800 million in damage, prompting the British government to create the City’s “Ring of Steel” and tighten security for high-profile sites. That security overhaul is now cited as a precedent as Prince Harry and Meghan’s school move triggers a fresh review of Sussexes’ safety.
