Police Roll of Honour Trust - Grant of Royal Charter
|
In recognition of the Trust's work and it's status as the official source of the United Kingdom's Police Roll of Honour, the Trust was honoured to be granted a Royal Charter by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Charter was affixed with the Great Seal and became a legal document and thus incorporated the Trust in March 2018.
We were delighted to attend the celebration of the award of Royal Charter and share in the recognition the Royal Charter brings. As long-term supporters of the charity, we admire the efforts of the team under the leadership of Chair Sidney MacKay. Pictured: Left: Cressida Dick CBE PM, Commissioner of the Metropolis and Sidney MacKay It's important to remember the dangers police officers face throughout the year, whilst serving the public. |

Although we will miss his him, we're also pleased to know that in addition to being an inspirational leader, he is also a music buff with great plans to finally sort out his vast music collection.
