Islamic State (ISIS) members are planning to attack the British Queen next weekend during a ceremony to mark the end of the Second World War during the 70th anniversary of the Victory-over- Japan (VJ) Day.

Police and MI5 are desperate to stop the assassination plot by British jihadis, with a remote control from Syrian ISIS commanders, according to express.

Next Saturday, the terrorists have threatened to hit with the detonation of a "pressure cooker bomb" in Central London.

Some threats issued against the queen have made the cops review security arrangements for the events. Another possible target is Prince Charles, say the intelligence reports.

Other royal members, and David Cameron will also be part of the function. More dignitaries, over 1,000 veterans of the Far East campaign and their families and even members of the Armed Forces are expected to be there.

Police are fearing a huge carnage, even as thousands will be on the streets around Whitehall and Westminster Abbey.

"Such an attack, if successful, would cause high casualties and represent the realisation of long-held fears of a terror 'spectacular' by home-based Muslim extremists, according to dailymail.

Senior figures of Scotland Yard's Royal Protection arm, and the Home Office feel that attendees are considered to be "under threat from terrorist attack".

The ISIS is expected to use the same devices that it used in the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013, which killed three and injured more than 260.

Such an attack would lead to "high casualties and confirm long-held fears of a terror attack by Muslim extremists on UK soil," according to express.

Recently, hundreds of ISIS converts ran to Syria and Iraq but other members are being told by ISIS to stay on in UK so that they can initiate attacks.

Even though she was alerted about the attack, the Queen insists that she wants to attend the functions in order to "honour the fallen".

So, on Saturday, she will attend the service at St Martins-in-the-Fields at Trafalgar Square.

Just two months ago, there were a series of terror manuals that gave instructions on how to launch "lone wolf" attacks on the West, showing a lot of close advice on "assassinations, firearms techniques and bomb-making" just like the terrorists did when they attacked Tunisia, France and Kuwait.
