Special constable Penny Lancaster has revealed how she was on "alert" to protect the public as part of the police force working at the King’s Coronation.The former model and TV presenter, 52, who is married to Sir Rod Stewart, began volunteering with City of London Police after appearing in Channel 4 show Famous And Fighting Crime, in which celebrities swapped their day jobs with those of emergency service professionals.

She later completed her training to become a special constable in April 2021. Penny talked to ITV’s Good Morning Britain about her role looking after the crowds at the Coronation on Saturday, 6 May. “So there were two barriers, so the crowd were behind two barriers with the Met officers within the crowd, and they had armed forces, it was well covered," she said. “Our main message to us was to be smart and look smart, and to be alert and just to inform our inspectors and those officers in the crowd if we saw anything suspicious but luckily it was a fantastic atmosphere.” Penny added that they had also been briefed about “some of the dangers that could occur”, including horses getting spooked and said that “if someone attempted to come over the barrier, I would have most certainly intervened”.

She also explained to GMB presenters Ed Balls and Kate Garraway how her protection differed to that of the main police force. “We worked very closely with the Met, and they were in full PPE protection," she said. “They had their armour and batons and handcuffs, whereas myself and the officers that were on the route itself, were in our very smart tunics.
