Penny Lancaster has given her verdict on policing Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, describing it as the “the biggest honour of all.”
The TV presenter and former model – who is married to Sir Rod Stewart – was one of 15,000 police officers working the funeral procession in London on Monday and manned the barriers near Queen Victoria’s Memorial. Special Constable Lancaster joined City of London Police in April 2021 and said she would not have missed Her Majesty’s funeral “for the world.”
Speaking to the PA news agency on Monday, she said: “I think it's [the same reason] why every officer wanted to be here today, because we swore an oath to the Queen to serve in the office of constable. This is the biggest honour of all.
