          You can apply for an emergency travel document. According to the site, it takes about 2 working days.



          If that is not fast enough, call your closest British consulate and ask if they can help sooner.

            Go ahead with these actions but don't be surprised if your new passport arrives first. The last time I renewed my UK passport, it took about a week from dropping off the package at a FedEx office to a DHL delivery person ringing my doorbell.

            @Cœur I'm going with "before", since, as far as I'm aware, Patricia hasn't been travelling at relativistic velocities with respect the European Union so it's impossible for her to have already done something after an event that is still in the future.
