Lunch to celebrate the end of the first term of office for the MPA hosted by the Met.

We all had first to have our photo taken (at New Scotland Yard) as a group and then up to ‘Peelers’ for our lunch. There were a series of presentations to members of the MPA who were stepping down – but there were also presentations to all of us for the first term.

It was so very Met police-ish – kind of service awards – but very sweet. So I am now the proud owner of a Met Police paperweight with my years of service scripted within and a police shield. Establishment or what!

I even gave Sir John a peck on the cheek (reciprocated) when I left. Don’t know if it’s PC or not to kiss the commissioner.
