That's a very myopic view on it.
Given the amount of tourists that are coming here for it and the amount of money that will be made from foreign TV rights (America is obssessed with it). A few million spent on security is small change compared to what it will generate in tax revenue for the country.
No one else in the world is capable of an event as big as this, it's a time to be proud of our nation for a change. And besides it's an extra bank holiday isn't it?
