patsylabrador Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Couldn't resist, one of my sons is the centre policeman at 37.06 mins (roughly!) as the police lead the crowd down the the Mall, & 3rd from left in wide screen shot a minute or so later. I'm very proud of him, a week later he was trying to comfort/ save the life of a stab victim in the very violent bit of London he works in. Sadly the lad died & he then had to comfort the family & attend the post mortem - he is 22 years old. Met Police If you're interested and the link doesn't work it's ITV player - royal wedding- 1215 episode- about 37mins in. Obviously I think it is the best thing I've seen on TV for ages!!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 No wonder you're proud . What a hard thing to experience at that age . I bet you had a hand in him becoming such a fine young man though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Well done to your son for doing such a worthwhile job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 You must have been so thrilled - did you pick him out as you were watching on the day ? slightly difficult from the back to admittedly but you are his mum Or was it one of those - 'hey that's me mum' moments afterwards ?

freddie Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 fantastic lad, toughest job, too many highs, too many lows. Our Police force, on the whole , are the best in the world, and dont get the recognition they deserve. Good on him, and you have every right to be very very proud of him.
