Heartwarming moment at One Love when policeman danced with children
A police officer who was filmed dancing with children at the One Love Manchester concert has said his phone has not stopped ringing since the clip went viral.
Pc Paul Taylor was widely praised for joining in with the children and the impromptu moment was seen by many as one of the highlights of the night as he danced in a circle with them, hand-in-hand.
He was one of around 50 Durham Police officers sent to assist colleagues at Greater Manchester Police as part of the mutual aid arrangements between forces.
Pc Taylor, who is usually based in Darlington and has 20 years in service, got back home at 3.30am after working at the concert.
He said once the clip started to trend on social media, it did not take long for friends and family to recognise him.
He had posed for a picture with some children who then asked him to dance with them.
On Durham Police's Facebook page, people were quick to praise him.
One person said he was a "credit to his profession", while another commented "This one clip on the tv made me night. Was such a lovely moment to watch! Well done to Paul!"
