It's been 70 years and a lot has changed - but these Cheshire cops are letting history repeat itself
Cheshire police have shown their allegiance to the Crown - exactly like they did 70 years ago. In 1953 officers lined up outside the then Warrington Borough Police Station bedecked in the Union Jack to mark the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth.
Speaking about the photograph, Chief Constable Mark Roberts said: “It is important for us to capture this moment in time and mark the Coronation of the King and Queen. We are the county’s Constabulary and I think that’s what makes us different to other forces in some regards – as we are the local force for local people and this image underlines this.
Volunteers from the Museum of Policing arranged the photograph after researching the original image that sits proudly on the walls in the museum. Warrington Borough Police merged with Lancashire Constabulary in 1969 before Warrington became part of Cheshire under boundary changes in April 1974.
