According to the file, the man claimed that he was going to attempt to harm Queen Elizabeth and would do this either by dropping some object off the Golden Gate Bridge onto the Royal Yacht Britannia when it sails underneath, or when she visited Yosemite.
As the world mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II after 70 years on the throne, ABC30 went to the archives for her visit to Yosemite National Park.
One document appears to detail a tip gathered around a month before that visit from San Francisco police regarding a phone call from "a man who claimed that his daughter had been killed in Northern Ireland by a rubber bullet." The same document notes that "it is the intention of the Secret Service to close the walkways on the Golden Gate Bridge when the yacht nears. "There's no mention of any precautions that may have been taken at the national park nor do the files reveal whether any arrests were made.
