Yes there have been several, all, thank God, unsuccessful. one, back in the sixties involved a deliberate attempt at displacing a Boulder in the general direction of the Royal motorcade- either it missed or was not actually launched- Bobbies may have prevented it. There was one in the eighties where an Ex-Marine discharged a blank-firing revolver in the middle of a parade- where Her Majesty was ( Trooping the Color) -this too, failed. There have certainly been serious attempts- and Elizabeth's Good Boys- the equivalent of the Secret Service in the bodyguard aspect- have their hands full!
