A celebration dinner was held in the honour of former Northumbria Police chief constable Winton Keenan, who recently retired.
Dr Hari Shukla and his son Nitin arranged the special evening of tribute and thanks on behalf of the Ethnic Minority Communities of Tyne & Wear and Northumberland.
The event, held at Newcastle’s Discovery Museum, brought together leaders from the North East’s business, arts and culture, emergency services and academic spheres to recognise the contribution made by the outgoing police chief, who gave a rousing speech thanking the city.
