Manchester’s Lord Mayor and his Consort have been presented with a customised police helmet as a thank you from Greater Manchester Police.
On Thursday, 23 March 2017, during the Civic Head’s Dinner, Chief Constable Ian Hopkins handed the personalised helmet to the Lord Mayor Carl Austin-Behan and his Consort and husband Simon Austin-Behan for their help and hard work promoting equality and diversity.
The helmet, dubbed a ‘bobby dazzler’, was part of a series created by Manchester based creative Brett Dearden.
During last year’s Manchester’s Pride Parade, the helmets achieved worldwide fame when two police officers recreated the Banksy mural ‘Kissing Coppers’.
Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: “The Lord Mayor and his Consort have given exceptional support to GMP in relation to tackling hate crime and inequality across Manchester.”
Manchester Lord Mayor Carl Austin-Behan, said: “It’s been an absolute honour and privilege for both myself and Simon. Manchester is proud of its diversity, equality and inclusivity, and I am proud to be part of that.”
