10 arrests were made during the Epsom Derby weekend - as officers thanked those involved in keeping the event safe.

Surrey Police say working alongside Sussex Police and The Jockey Club's event security team, they "successfully completed" the policing operation for the weekend.

Various policing teams, including planning, intelligence, drones, neighbourhoods and public order, were involved.

Tens of thousands of people, including the King and Queen, attended the two-day event.

It also marked the 25th year that Surrey Police had been responsible for policing the event.

Chief Superintendent Graham Barnett said:

"No two years at the event are the same, but every year, our teams work tirelessly to make sure that we are preventing and responding to crime and anti-social behaviour.

"We work closely with the event organisers and our partner agencies to ensure that everyone is able to enjoy the event safely."

Ch Supt Barnett also thanked all those involved in policing the event, and everyone attending for their "understanding and patience."
