Is it possible we can stay clear of politics here? I am sure other than this issue you are an ardent supporter of the present leadership 
(btw so far I haven’t seen any suggestion from anyone else on any forum that a full shutdown of airports should happen on Monday 19 September so I suspect it’s just you getting worked up about this).

“Where possible,” the FCDO advised, foreign leaders should arrive in the U.K. on commercial flights, warning that London Heathrow airport will not be available for private flight arrangements or aircraft parking. Those leaders insisting on traveling by private jet should head for “less busy airports” around London, the FCDO added.
The use of helicopter transfers between airports and venues has been banned “due to the number of flights operating at this time,” the department said.
And in a message all-too-familiar to weary passengers using U.K. airports this year, the FCDO also warned that “unforeseen events may require commercial and private flights to divert from the intended airport of arrival.”

Sounds like flying on the day will be fine, but before and after may be messy...

Exactly - that is my point - with plenty of ways to skin this proverbial cat, I was hoping to sort out the solution, while I could, in slow time rather than join the mad rush when everyone (and BA) suddenly realise that there is a problem.

But as has been noted several times now, it is unlikely to noticeably disrupt LHR anyway. I don't happen to be travelling next Monday, but if I was I wouldn't really be concerned.

the reality is all airports will be used, and this will include LHR and LGW given the number of heads of states.
If a delay can’t be tolerated, what would the OP do if there was a delay for another reason? They may wish to change flights anyway, but that will likely incur a change fee which BA is unlikely to waiver unless they know there will definitely be a delay/cancellation.

As far as I understand you are on a direct LHR-SJC flight on Monday. There is no reason whatsoever to think that the flight is in any danger of being cancelled on Monday due to the funeral. Why would it be? LHR isn't taking VIP flights. Even if it was taking a few, LHR is not at capacity atm so a few extra flights coming in and going off to the Royal Suite on the T4 side won't impact any other commercial flights. Also the only VIP flight that does come with significant disruption (AF1) won't be coming to LHR.

I'm sure there will be an announcement soon in terms of any impact. If I was travelling on Wednesday, or next Monday I'd probably keep an eye out.

Looks like the FCO have decided to pre-empt the sort of country that likes to send its leader in a private aircraft and demand closed airspace around it to land at a major airport, then a personal motorcade around the city. That augers well for traffic congestion, on ground and in air.

This, to me, reinforces your comment that a reduced number of VIPs will be passing through LHR so any impact is going to be minimised and probably cause less hassle than usual. I would expect the super-duper VIPs will end up in Northolt or Stanstead.

I recall flying out on the day of Diana's funeral (BA to VRN from LGW). At some point on that day there was a national 2 minutes silence which was pretty much our scheduled departure time.
Operationally at LGW that meant that not only were there no take-offs or landings allowed during that 2 mins silence, also no taxiing or other movements were allowed. Aircraft were prevented from starting taxiing in the ~20 minutes leading up to the 2 mins silence so that no aircraft would be "mid taxi". This meant that essentially all aircraft due to depart around that time where held at their gates until after the 2 minutes silence. IIRC, and our aircraft was about 2 hours delayed in taking off.
LHR and LGW (and other UK airports) may (or may) operate similar procedures this time.

As Heathrow Tower has mentioned more details will follow in due course.
The last time a Full State Funeral was held in the UK, Heathrow was still more or less quieter than it was in the height of Covid. Crews have been sent the following this evening, as yet we know nothing in terms of specific restrictions. The last time and Royal influence over airspace occurred that I recall was the Wedding of the Sussexes. We were on easterlies that day and delaying action taken in the OCK hold for us as per the NOTAM that advised no overflight during the times advised (about 30 mins iirc). Now as it happened the bride was late and anything ceremonial militarily and/or royal is timed to the second, so ATC duly allowed us out to go home. A 744 led and we were number two in stream…..you can just faintly hear the 747 as Meghan was walking up the steps of St George’s. Bride’s prerogative and all that, the sound of British Rolls Royce accompanied her ascent.

Good Evening All,
Over the coming days and leading up to the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we are expecting disruption which may affect all means of travel to work. Specifically, we are expecting disruption on Wednesday, 14 Sep and Monday 19Sep. This may affect HOTAC availability and lead to disruption to the flying programme and road closures. We are awaiting more specific details and we will keep you updated……
