Mr Dickinson yesterday, when asked if everyone entering the street party area would be searched, said: "No. We are obviously not going to be searching old ladies. Officers will be looking for people high on the list of likely candidates."

However Charles Shoebridge, a former counter-terrorism intelligence officer, said: "It is very surprising that in advance of a major event this kind of security detail would be announced."
