He said he wanted the honour of standing next to them

The man waited for almost half an hour to have his photo taken with officers, but didn't have a camera

UPDATE: Surrey RCMP have made contact with the man and will receive a copy of the photo

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Surrey RCMP are asking for your help to find a man they met at the Vaisakhi Parade last week.

The man apparently stood in line for close to half an hour to take a photo with two Mounties who were holding a photo opportunity.

We would love to present this gentleman with a copy of this photo from the Surrey Vaisakhi Parade. If anyone knows who he is please contact our Diversity Unit at 604-507-5949 or surrey_diversity@rcmp-grc.gc.ca @OMNIpunjabi @RED931FM @ChannelPunjabi https://t.co/YZJjPjg33A — Surrey RCMP (@SurreyRCMP) April 29, 2019

Once he got to the front of the line he admitted he didn’t actually have a camera, he just wanted the honour of standing beside two members of the Surrey RCMP.

Someone volunteered to take the photo and now Mounties are trying to track the man down in order to give him a copy.

If you know the man in the photo, please contact Surrey RCMP at 604-507-5949.
