A road safety awareness day hosted by the Brigade and the world famous Ace Café on the North Circular Road recently was a roaring success. Popular with the Ton Up boys of the 1950s and the Rockers of the 1960s, the iconic biker venue still hosts numerous motorcycle and car meets. To illustrate the potential consequence of road traffic collisions crews and London Ambulance Service colleagues, simulated vehicle rescues and demonstrated how they release trapped casualties.

Brigade staff helped veterans at the VJ Day celebrations this weekend. The volunteers assisted those who were unable to walk the parade route due to a lack of mobility, but wanted to participate with the aid of a wheelchair.
The anniversary paid tribute to those that served in the UK Armed Forces in the Far East, including those who served in the famous 14th Army in Burma that helped secure victory. The event also recognised Prisoners of War and civilian internees from the conflict.
Community Safety Deputy Manager Vanessa Skinner helped veterans at the parade. She described the celebration as “very humbling” and said it was “an honour to give a little back to those who gave up so much."
