EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the incredible skill and precision of the Metropolitan Police Motorcycle Precision Ride Team. The image was taken at Laing Sports Ground on Rowley Lane in Elstree, Barnet, Greater London during a sports day event in July 1961. In this remarkable display of coordination and teamwork, the police officers effortlessly maneuver their motorcycles with utmost control and finesse. Clad in their iconic uniforms, they exude an air of authority while executing intricate formations with absolute precision. The photo evokes a sense of nostalgia for the 1960s era, as evidenced by the vintage road transport surrounding them. It serves as a testament to both the dedication of these officers to their craft and to the spirit of camaraderie within their team. Originally published in Laings monthly newsletter "Team Spirit" this image offers a glimpse into an important aspect of law enforcement history. Preserved by A© Historic England Archive, it stands as a reminder of not only the impressive skills displayed that day but also highlights how public events like sports days brought communities together through shared experiences. As we admire this snapshot from decades past, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by those who served on two wheels to protect our streets.
