DPG Framed

Diplomatic Protection Group.

The most photographed pavement in Britain.

The most guarded doorway in the world.

And possibly the only place where a banana once found itself tactically deployed in a Glock holster.

Yes. That story is true.

This illustration captures the quiet theatre of standing guard outside Number 10 — the ceremonial stillness, the sharp creases, the radio discipline… and the endless hours of observation.

But look closer.

Because as with all Boris pieces, the real story hangs in the details.

The laundry line above the famous black door isn’t just washing. It’s a timeline. A coded nod to a particular era in British politics. Shirts, colours, numbers… subtle clues left for those who were there.

Can you guess the sitting Prime Minister from the hints on display?

And then there are the other details:

• The famous arch

• The graffiti whispers

• The milk bottles waiting patiently

• The fox who knows more than he lets on

• The cat who has seen governments come and go

• Spent casings on the pavement for those paying attention

• And yes… that banana

Front and centre stands the DPG officer — professional, composed, immovable. The embodiment of calm in a place where history happens daily.

This framed edition rewards repeat viewing. Every glance reveals something new. A quiet joke. A historical wink. A subtle truth about life on protection.

Perfect for:

• Serving or former DPG officers

• Anyone who has stood on that pavement at 03:00

• Political observers with a sense of humour

• Collectors who appreciate layered detail

Because behind that glossy black door, governments change.

On the pavement outside, the guard remains.

Framed. Detailed. Full of hidden stories.

By Boris.

Available in two frame sizes, with two mount options, making it ideal for display in a home office, study, police-themed collection, or as a meaningful gift for a serving or retired officer.
