Met Police officers wearing custodian helmets
Trafalgar Square, City of Westminster
London, May 2023

“The custodian helmet is a type of helmet worn predominantly by male police officers in the United Kingdom, within England and Wales, and certain other places around the world. First used by the Metropolitan Police in London in 1863, the BBC labelled the custodian helmet a "symbol of British law enforcement". They are worn by male constables and sergeants on foot patrol. A cultural icon, it has featured in films, TV series and other media involving British police.” (Custodian helmet, Wikipedia)

President Re-Elected

Palazzo del Quirinale (Quirinal Palace)
Just after Giorgio Napolitano was re-elected President of Italy
Piazza del Quirinale
Rome, April 2013

“Napolitano was comfortably re-elected, having garnered the support of centre-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani, former Prime Minister and centre-right leader Silvio Berlusconi, and interim PM and centrist Mario Monti. Earlier, Berlusconi and his coalition refused to support the PD's choice of Romano Prodi, claiming he was unacceptable as a compromise candidate. As a result, leaders from all political parties except for Beppe Grillo turned to Napolitano and held discussions with him in order to convince him to run again. Even though he had openly stated his refusal to consider running again in an interview a week before, Napolitano reluctantly agreed, and the party leaders subsequently urged electors to back him as a show of unity. By winning this election, Napolitano became the first Italian president to be elected to a second term.” (Italian presidential election, 2013, Wikipedia)
