Double-take? Residents may have been surprised to see Sir Ian Blair out on patrol in Ealing on Wednesday afternoon.
SIR Ian Blair, commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, was given an Honorary Award by Thames Valley University last Tuesday.
Honorary Awards are presented by the university, which has a campus in St Mary's Road, Ealing, to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to industry, education, training and skills.
And on Wednesday afternoon this week, Sir Ian was due to visit another Ealing establishment Ealing Borough Police.
There, he was due to meet staff based at the station in Uxbridge Road before joining them on a patrol across the borough.
Ealing Times reporter Rachel Sixsmith met Sir Ian for a full report and pictures of the visit see next week's Ealing Times
