A prominent Brixton-based youth worker has applauded the Metropolitan Police for doing ‘tremendous work’ during the Notting Hill Carnival. 

Millions of people are expected to attend Europe’s largest street festival. The two-day festival started with a tribute to the 72 people who died in the Grenfell Tower blaze in June 2017.

The carnival first occurred in 1966 but was forced online during the pandemic. 

But it returned more potent than ever on Sunday, designated Family Day, with more than 2 million people expected to gather across the bank holiday weekend.

Thousands of Met Police officers are drafted in to try and help keep the event as safe as possible, with many officers having their leave and rest days cancelled to provide the numbers necessary to police the event.

Lorraine Jones, who tragically lost her son, Dwayne Simpson, to knife crime in London, shared her thoughts regarding what she has seen so far via her Twitter account (Dwaynamics).

In a tweet, Ms Jones said: 

‘Our Police are doing a tremendous work at Notting Hill Carnival.

‘I’ve observed so much care in many ways from the Police! 

‘I was so happy to be helped by one of our own AS262 he’s been fantastic, even making sure our wheelchair users are safe! 

‘He’s Special! Thank you!’

Before his death, Dwayne ran a very successful and extremely popular programme of boxing classes for teenagers in the Brixton area. 

Following his death, his mother registered the boxing group as a Community Interest Company, encouraging larger numbers of children to attend boxing classes twice a week, free of charge and expanded the programmes to offer free education and life-skill support.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
