Very special person with police escort on Lordship Lane..

[simonethebeaver]

No, the police don't do anything like this for money. Slebs use private security. The MPS offer protection on a risk basis to certain public figures.

Yep, she'd get it......

[ratty]

Not off me she wouldn't

[Salsaboy]

Edward is such a waste of space.

[jctg]

The Royal Family are such a waste of space.

I tried to keep it as low key as possible, but it was me. I like to have my driver bring me back through East Dulwich to remind me why I moved out. Those Uber Range Rover Taxi driver don't half know how to charge. The Poice escort were just making sure I made it back to Broadmoor.

Saw them near Nags Head about 3.55 so they must have stopped off somewhere between Barry Rd at 2.40pm and 3.55. Dark Green armoured Range Rover screams minor royal but didn't think there were enough cars.

Perhaps it was Olivia Coleman and James Nesbitt going to B&Q on the OKR?

09.52

Lordship Lane, car and outriders heading north towards Goose Green

[catgirl]

I saw them about 9.50am today in Barry road.

Wierd.

[sanity girl]

Also spotted this morning around 9am at Red Post Hill/ Dulwich Village/ EDG/ Village Way junction!

[Laur]

Tory Lord McColl of Dulwich?

[holloway]

I saw the same thing this morning outside King's College hospital. Just before 9am. Maybe it was James Barber??

[Rockets]

There were two cars with outriders this morning. The first, a Range Rover with two out-riders passed through Dulwich Village towards the a205 at about 8.55 and was followed a few minutes later by another Range Rover with four out-riders.

[jctg]

T. Blair?

[nxjen]

Jeremy's earlier suggestion it's a training exercise makes most sense.

[uncleglen]

They were at the Harvester at about 9.40. They had turned left out of Dulwich Common and the front motorcycle rider stopped all the traffic to allow the 4x4 to turn left......maybe the person has a child at Dulwich College and is being escorted back and forth! My son reckons we should not be posting these movements because there could be an attack on them!

[Jeremy]

Actually it was Bellerophon who suggested in was Special Escort Group training. Makes sense to me too.

[KikiMac]

Yep! Saw them at Nigel Road by Nags Head (on my way into the marvelous Lerryns coffee shop) this morning. Another customer said she'd seen them in Camberwell this morning. Got quite a good look in the Range Rover - no one in the back and two very ordinary looking blokes in the front, so yeah training sounds right. How disappointing!

Boohoo, i really was hoping for something exciting!

[Lynne]

Here in Sarf London it would have been the Richardsons, not the Krays. For anyone too young to remember them (I.e. anyone in East Dulwich) they were an enterprising pair of businessmen from Camberwell. Known for their hands on approach to community affairs.

[EDmummy]

Maybe a diplomat who's moved to the Village.

Ooh - are they an item?

[EDOldie]

I saw it come through the Village I think it's a dry run for a royal or political visit, usually in the past to the Picture Gallery, I think they've all been there. Thats why they come through the Village and go back a different way to vary the route. But, interestingly (stop yawning at the back there please) they seem to do these things sometimes months in advance of the actual visit.
