Trafalgar Square, London, UK Mid 1960's

A picture taken in June 1965 or June 1966 on Trafalgar Square. On the left is PC 260'A' Jim Sutherland and on the right is PC 457 'A' Richard Perry. Both in Number One dress for the Trooping of the Colour and both attached to Cannon Row Police Station.

The Trooping was under a blazing sky and those wool No 1's were not made for the hot weather. Note the striped armband that signified the officer was 'on duty' and the white gloves!

Note, no guns or weighted down equipment belts, kevlar jackets, stab proof vests, machine guns or tasers that we see carried by today's police officers. How times have changed!
