Councillors in Sutton have reacted angrily to a safety ban on a cannon
salute on Remembrance Sunday.
In the past the sound, known as a maroon, was used to signal the beginning
and end of the two-minute silence.
It was previously triggered by the Parks Police Service in the borough's two
main parks at 11am and then at 11.02am.
But these officers have been axed and the replacement service, Safer Parks
Teams, which are an arm of the Met, cannot use the cannons on health and
safety grounds.
