The Sun Police Bravery Awards 2007

We all remember that Gerry McCann gave a speech at the 2007 Police Bravery Awards at the Dorchester.

These awards were backed by the Sun and not surprisingly Rebekah Brooks was present. Even Prince Charles was there as well! The Mirror have suggested that Neil Wallis set up the Annual Police Bravery Awards when he worked for the Sun (pre 2003).

Was Gerry there as a guest of the Police or as a guest of the PR and press people?

Neil Wallis and the Murdoch Squad:

Mr Wallis, a former editor of The People and deputy of The Sun, joined the News of the World in 2003 – shortly after Mr Coulson took over – and worked there for six years before leaving to run a public relations agency.Mr Wallis is believed to have set up the Police Bravery Awards alongside the Police Federation during his time working for Mr Murdoch’s Sun.http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/07/15/news-of-the-world-phone-hacking-the-murdoch-squad-115875-23271897

Must have been a Monty Pythonesque circus:

"Brave policeforce applauds suspects"

Brave really does not describe it, does it?

I am bumping this thread because people all over Britain and THE WORLD (judging by our live feed here) are asking questions about the high status protection the McCanns have received from the off.

Here, on the above thread, we learn that, UNBELIEVABLY, someone conceived the idea that a suspect in a child's disappearance would make Gerry McCann the ideal guest speaker at a police bravery award ceremony. He duly comes, hotfoot from Portugal on 12 JULY 2007, while under investigation by Portuguese police, to speak as HONORARY GUEST at the POLICE BRAVERY AWARDS in his capacity as ARGUIDO in the disappearance of his daughter.

Not only this, but he receives a standing ovation!!!
