As looters and rioters smashed up shops, looted and fought with police in Camden Town, Philippa Morgan-Walker, 25 and her husband, Jonny Walker, 31, made tea for the police who were protecting their street. They used a riot shield as a tea-tray. Some of the officers had been on duty for more than 30 hours.

I have to say this is uplifting after most of the night spent watching the devastation on TV.

Only in England would they serve tea, and the guys name would be Jonny Walker. This is lovely!

Some of the worst things can at least start to look a little better after firing up a brew - how I miss this country (the people, not the idiots causing all the trouble)

There is no problem in the world that doesn't look slightly better after a mug of tea!

Nice to see an important positive when there are so many negatives being broadcast about the events and the Police who are doing a tough job.
My thoughts and wishes too all in the affected areas.

Lovely shot - a beautiful capture of a beautiful moment, and a welcome alternative to the panic I keep seeing on the news. Keep telling the whole story like this - it's quite wonderful!

I'm sorry, but if Cameron don't engage hard counter-weapon and makes a lesson of this, that multiculturalism ideology must be ordered to completely disappear, as well as relativism and an absurd cultural over-sensitivity, England will go deeper into the problem you're facing right now. Still a nice picture and initiative! (An ordinary Swede)

Brilliant indeed! Well done to the people who show there is still humanity left!
These kind of things should be shown today on tv too!
And all those people cleaning up today and helping out. Kudos to them... there are some positive things in this unnecessary devastation after all!
