Great and delightful subject, people in service with a sign, Lollipop people. In 1949-1967 our dear Lollipop person was called “Cookie the Cop” who help children in many ways beyond the street crossing at elementary school. Thanks atk

I am glad GA has highlighted this band of lollipop’ers. The front line today is our roads, lollipop people are out there manning the safety crossings in all weathers, saving children’s lives above all they have a sense of community spirit !well done them. Not sure if there is any remuneration to be had. Of course duty time is minimal but has to be constant in school term time. Dig deep and one will find the odd MBE or two awarded for exceptional attention to duty. Sometimes there is a mix of people, of course children & mums are the main priority also seen sometimes are the elderly crossing all through the generosity of our gallant band of people movers. Poet John. PS – If I remember my American cousins have this system with a bit more grandeur.

Delighted that these warm hearted, hard working, dedicated characters have been recorded and their character shone through the photographs
