Although retired from the Police Force I am still attached to the Justice Department and have a part-time position at Fulham Prison as an Official Visitor, I derive my income from performing ceremonies of marriage ( and funerals) as a registered Civil Celebrant, I have very fond memories of the area and send my best to everyone, Max Wilton http://www.weddings2remember.com.au
