EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image, WPC Lesley Moore of the Metropolitan Police, Charing Cross Division, London, is seen receiving the Stanhope Gold Medal of the Royal Humane Society in January 1992. The award was given in recognition of her exceptional courage and quick thinking during an incident in Ryder Street, SW1, where she helped a workman who had fallen 50 feet onto a sloping roof. Despite the dangerous location and strong winds, WPC Moore administered first aid and resuscitation to the injured man, using her tunic as a makeshift pillow. The man was eventually secured by the Fire Brigade and taken to hospital, but sadly, he passed away several days later. This image captures a moment of heroism and bravery from a woman in uniform, breaking the stereotypes of the time and demonstrating the important role of women in law enforcement. The Stanhope Gold Medal, a prestigious award given by the Royal Humane Society for acts of gallantry and heroism, symbolizes the recognition of WPC Moore's selfless actions and her commitment to helping those in need. The background of the image features a cherub and a ribbon adorned with the words "Royal Humane Society," adding to the historical significance of the moment. The blue velvet backdrop and the formal attire of the ceremony further emphasize the importance and prestige of the award. This photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of WPC Lesley Moore and the progress towards gender equality in employment, particularly in the police force.
