Sounds like a Royal visit.

I also witnessed this. I wonder if it could be the PM. I know Carrie Symonds has family/old friends in East Sheen and the couple have been photographed there in the past. Perhaps they were making a Yuletide visit, before jetting off somewhere for a well earned break.

If Corbyn had won the election, how would the Met's Protection Command have managed to make a bicycle bullet-proof?

I thought it was Boris who made such a big deal about cycling?

Sean Hodges ● 2514d

Lol.  Yes Boris is the enthusiastic cyclist and cycled to work when he was Mayor.

What surprised me was that the convoy had two Range Rovers with darkened glass but no obvious royal or diplomatic vehiclce between them. I don't think the PM, any PM, gets that sort of protection.

Perhaps it was a rehearsal.Or perhaps it was set up to confuse. The Royal was in one of the police vehicles, like Trump with his seven helicopters at Davos. If it was Prince Harry, perhaps he was one of the motorcyclists?

Maybe it was Johnson and his girlfriend on their way to catch a flight to Mustique for their Christmas break with the von Bismarck’s. Such a lovely couple - the von Bismarck’s I mean.Nick.
