Jun 17 - RGP Also Unaware That Guardia Civil Would Attend Queen’s Birthday Parade

The RGP has said that, although the Commissioner of Police was aware that the Guardia Civil are invited every year by both the Convent and Commander British Forces Gibraltar to attend the Queen’s Birthday Parade and Garden Party, he was nevertheless unaware that the Guardia Civil had accepted the invitation and would be attending this year's event, let alone that they would do so in uniform.

The RGP says that the decision to provide Police transport for these officers to the venue was an operational decision made by the duty officer at the time with the sole purpose of preventing any possible incident involving these Spanish uniformed officers whilst en route to Casemates Square from the land frontier. This decision, says the RGP, “was appropriate in the circumstances.”
