tahlialouisa Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 A police RANGE ROVER flanked by 5 or 6 bikes has just come down Lordship Lane (literally about 60 seconds ago, past the old Grove pub). One of the bike escorts had a whistle and he was using this to stop the flow of traffic to allow the Range Rover and it's entourage through.Any ideas who this could've been?!

Andrew1011 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I've never seen this happen for just a police car. I'd have at least expected to see a Bentley or a Jaguar in the entourage if it was royalty or senior politicians, etc. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/53553-very-special-person-with-police-escort-on-lordship-lane/#findComment-815766 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebedee Tring Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Probably Prince Charles or one of his voluminous family.

Bellerophon Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If the Range Rover was a liveried Met vehicle, then it will have been the Special Escort Group (SEG) on a training runThey whizz ahead and dominate the junctions with furious whistling and hand signalsI think the idea is that the wheels of the principals vehicle do not stop rolling Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/53553-very-special-person-with-police-escort-on-lordship-lane/#findComment-815812 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jctg Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I saw it going past the Nag's Head in Peckham. It could have been someone as inconsequential as the Duke of Gloucester. Even twats like him get that treatment.

simonethebeaver Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Almost no one gets that treatment now actually. If it was just the police vehicle and nothing else, then it's very unlikely any VIP was involved.

Jeremy Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I thought the police offered this as a (paid) service for slebs and suchlike. Training exercise sounds plausible.

uncleglen Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I saw it going down Barry Road towards Peckham Rye at about 2.40. There were 2 bikes ahead of it with lights and sirens and a bike immediately in front of it Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/53553-very-special-person-with-police-escort-on-lordship-lane/#findComment-815828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
