Police chief: Go out and have fun

BRITAIN’S top counter-terrorism officer has urged tourists to go out and have fun during the Bank Holiday.

Metropolitan Police assistant commissioner Mark Rowley encouraged Britons to ‘not let the terrorists win’ as officers continue to investigate the Manchester bombing.

He said: ‘It is our determination that over the weekend people can enjoy [Bank Holiday] events that they have always planned to enjoy.

He added: ‘I would strongly encourage people not to let terrorists win and to attend community events as they have supported events before, whatever they may be.

‘They will see more police officers, they will see more security. At events where they wouldn’t normally see police officers in previous years you will see them.

‘We are doubly determined to protect the country so people can carry on their normal business while we close down the remaining lines of inquiry in this terrorist investigation.’
