Inspector Chris Thornhill said: “We know that people will be planning to celebrate Her Majesty’s 70 years on the throne in many different ways, be that at parties at home with friends and families, in our pubs or restaurants or at an organised event.
“However you plan to mark the occasion, look out for one another and enjoy the bank holiday safely and responsibly.”
Insp. Thornhill added: “Please respect any security measures in place and trust your instincts. We will have a police presence out and about, and we would urge people to report anything that doesn’t look or feel right to officers or security staff as soon as possible.”
