Anyone know what the police 'parade' type thing was yesterday?

[sugartip 10]

They went all the way up Halifax road too at about 3ish.

[Fiondi 10]

And they went past me at the junction of london road and boston street just after 1.30 today

[taxman 12]

Sounds like Police Pride 2010.

 

Were any of them wearing pink?

[shaunfl 10]

The Popes not calling in to see us, is he ?

yep saw them heading towards hillsborough at 3 ish...

[Laddo 10]

Yeah I saw them at about 2pm today going past the town hall. The 2 cars they were guarding only had drivers in so surely they must just be practising for something.

[samsparro 10]

Isn't it just the police practising how to escort a VIP through the city? I seem to remember this sort of thing happening a lot when the G8 met in Sheffield a few years ago:

 

Or it could just be Nick Clegg looking for a speedy getaway from Forgemasters...

 

Or it could be that there was a fresh delivery of doughnuts at the Police station!

 

Bingo..... give that man a carrot!

'guarding' 2 unmarked police cars (both BMW's)

 

If they were unmarked, how did you know they were police cars. Isn't that the point of an unmarked car?

 

It was probably the chief of Walls' pie-making division being given a VIP guard of honour by his most devoted customers.

Because, as I stated, they had the blue lights flashing in the grill?

[Litres 10]

They had just been to the Mcdonalds drive-thru and were proceeding back to the station.

I saw them today (Friday) on Hanover Way at around 2:45pm. Given the number of Police motorcyclists it looks like a training exercise for them or training new ones.
