Three cops have proven that even the police know how to have a good time after being caught on camera letting their hair down at the Denny and Dunipace gala day in Falkirk.

Posted online by local man Brian Kerr, the three are seen tucked under their mats at the top of the 30-foot Mega Slide attraction in the pouring rain.

With a little encouragement from the spectators gathered below, the three shoot down the slide at full pelt, bouncing as they descend in the pouring rain.

The last cop to come down in the bumpiest of the three rides manages to make it back up on his feet as he mock limps while holding his thigh.

The Police Scotland coppers have since gone viral with thousands of shares and comments from across the world.

“It’s going mad everywhere,” said Brian. He added: “I’ve had comments and shares from Spain, Germany, Brazil, the USA, and Oz.”
