One lucky boy in Hadleigh got a visit from police officers wishing him a happy birthday.

Seven-year-old Tyler almost fell over with excitement when he saw the real police car parked in front of the toy car in his front garden.

With the siren blaring at full volume, the officers wished him a happy birthday and posed for photos next to their car.

In a tweet, Hadleigh Police said: “On patrol today we stopped to help at an incident.

“Turns out it was Tyler’s 7th Birthday and he is a bit of a fan of all things police.

“You can see he already has all of the equipment and can’t wait until he is old enough to join.”

The officers also shared a picture of Tyler in his high-vis vest and police hat,in the toy police car outside his house.
