Earlier Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley joined fellow officers and hundreds from across London at a service to remember Richard Taylor OBE.

After, he spoke to BBC London, paying tribute to Richard and reflecting on the impact he had on all who met him.

Drink spiking and predatory behaviour are serious offences.

Our officers have been delivering Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement training to venues in the West End to empower staff so they know what to do if they see something suspicious or if a drink has been spiked.

It was a privilege to join others to celebrate Richard Taylor's extraordinary life and legacy today.

We know his work will continue.

Thank you.
