IF you need to be reassured that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be safe on their way down, look no further:

Police snipers were stationed at the top of the Opera in anticipation of the arrival of the royal couple.
There is also a strong security presence outside the Sydney Opera House.

Dozens of uniformed police and plainclothes officers swept the area for hours with sniffer dogs. Royal fans, meanwhile, had to undergo an X-ray bag check to access the forecourt of the Opera before taking a seat along the metal barricades.

A few hours before their arrival at Admiralty House this morning, an official procession of 11 police motorcycles was ready and was waiting to escort them into the building.

The snipers will remain at the top of the opera as the couple prepares to attend a Bangarra Dance Company show before boarding for an informal walk around the iconic monument.

But hey, it's not the most controversial thing to see about the building last week.
