Pyalong Hotel celebration for Eric Sutton

“I’d love to have a beer with Eric.”

In 1961 Eric Sutton received a Valour Award for displaying extraordinary bravery when confronted by an armed offender in South Melbourne.  Eric went on to protect the Victorian community for many years until his retirement at the high rank of Commander.

He was and still is highly respected by all who know him, especially by those in the lower ranks because he never lost touch with the needs of the street Police.

Eric has reached his senior years and doesn’t get our as much as he used to, so we are celebrating by having lunch with him at the Pyalong Hotel on Wednesday 19th April at midday. Those who know him or those who just want to see a living legend are welcome to attend and join the occasion.
