48 V Revisited
We began our fly-on-thewall
look at stewarding of
the pop music V Festival
last month by telling you

More stab wounds
came to his head,
hands, hip and legs.
He continued fighting
until he lost
consciousness. That
probationary officer
was winner last month
of the City of London
Sheriffs’ annual award
for bravery; presented at the Worshipful Company
of Security Professionals' annual dinner. Pictured
left to right are BTP Chief Supt Martin Fry, Sheriff
Neil Redcliffe, Wayne Marques, and the WCoSP
Master Air Commodore Stephen Anderton. PC
Marques will receive a cheque for £2,500.
