Off to Hillfield Park street party – organised each year by local resident Peter Thompson. Peter is a local hero in my view and does tremendous good work in the community including free legal advice to those who need it, Neighbourhood Watch stuff and this street party.

I am presenting a tribute to the ex-beat officer from Muswell Hill, Bob Stevenson – who although he has moved on after his years in this area – has come back for the afternoon.

Prior to that, Peter has asked if I can come a bit earlier to judge the best pet (non-canine) contest. Sadly – there is only one competitor – so although after strenuous efforts they drum up a few more – there wasn’t a need for my Solomon act.
