"My late dad was a sergeant in the Durham Constabulary and later got into biking in his cut short retirement. He would have loved this from Durham's finest," wrote a user.

"Well done for leading the team so well, PC Harry. Well done to the rest of you for being able to keep up with him. Sometimes in life, the simple things can make such a difference. Keep up the good work," commented another user.
