The police officials were on duty outside the Royal Courts of Justice in central London Monday, Daily Express reported Tuesday.

While Timothy is 5 feet 2 inches tall, Wallyn is 7 feet 2 inches tall.

Till the early 1990s, some police forces had operated height requirements which was 5 feet 10 inches for male recruits and 5 feet 4 inches for women.

However, no British forces have a minimum height. But applicants have to clear a series of physical tests.
