Before he got married, Robinson decided to reach out Isles of Scilly Police and invite its members to his special day.
The police force kindly obliged and pretended to arrest him for “wasting police time”.
As they explained on their Facebook page:
Six months ago Alistair contacted us and asked if Isles of Scilly Police could come along to his wedding at Old Town Church. He and Sara, were travelling with their entourage from Cheshire to the islands for the special event. He didn’t actually specify why he wanted us there or what role he wanted us to have so we reverted to type and arrested him on a trumped up charge of Wasting Police Time as he left the church.
Isles of Scilly Police shared the photo, taken by wedding photographer Chris Hall, on their Facebook last week where it has since received over 5,600 likes.
