British police said they received a bomb threat for central London from Irish republican paramilitaries today -- the eve of a historic visit by Queen Elizabeth II to Ireland.
The coded threat led to a security alert and the closure of an avenue in central London near Buckingham Palace.
The Queen begins a four-day visit to Ireland on March 17, becoming the first British monarch to visit the Republic of Ireland since independence from Britain.
