I’ve Left The Met Framed

Framed Edition

Once upon a time, there was a small blue sticker that appeared everywhere.

Locker doors. Notebooks. Tea room cupboards. Filing cabinets. And if you were feeling particularly brave… the windscreen of a visiting police vehicle.

I’ve Met The Met was more than a sticker. It was a badge of honour. A quiet declaration. A little bit of pride carried in your pocket and stuck wherever you fancied.

This piece, I’ve Left The Met, is a gentle homage to that tradition.

Front and centre stand two seasoned faces. The look of experience. The lines earned honestly. The quiet confidence of people who have done the job, seen the changes, ridden the waves and finally hung up the kit.

The familiar helmets remain. The badge still shines. But there is something different in the expression. Less urgency. More reflection. The kind of look that says, “We were there.”

It is not about leaving in bitterness. It is about leaving with stories. With friendships. With memories of parades, late shifts, cold mornings and laughter in the yard.

And for those who remember the sticker game…

Ten points if you managed to place one somewhere completely inappropriate but technically impressive.

This framed edition carries that spirit. Nostalgic without being sentimental. Proud without being loud. A salute to service and the identity that never quite fades, even after you hand in the warrant card.

Because you can leave the Met.

But the Met rarely leaves you.
