What an amazing sight. Thousands of police in the procession. Absolute silence. Brought a tear to my eye seeing his daughters walking being the funeral car, especially as my daughters are a similar age. Very moving indeed.

Pics don't really convey exactly how many were in the procession. Prob better to see it on news. I hope his daughters watch it and feel proud, if not now then as they get older.

Respect, to the man. (and to his colleagues for turning out in force.)

Nice to see a lot of members of the public out also to support his family, friends, colleagues and the force when the Police are often criticised. (mainly by scumbags).

RIP.

The vast majority of the officers that would have attended would have been on rest days or annual leave I would assume....it's sad deaths in 'the job' that affect the whole 'police family'. My thoughts were immediately at the time of his death with his wife, daughters and friends and family but also with every serving officer who with the office they swore an allegiance to faces such risks every time they set foot out of their front doors....on duty or off duty.....
I sat and reflacted how lucky my family and I are for me to be retired having done my 30 years and on more than one occasion narrowly avoided being another sad statistic.
The thin blue line is getting thinner by the day 😥

He was our local bobby, used to see him driving round quite often,lots of other police forces staff came to liverpool to cover for his collegues who should have been working, nad still lots of flowers where the collision happened on the dock road.

My brother in law went - he is Manchster - on his day off. As he said, the number of times he has gone through a front door, taken on a drunk or run around cars, it could have been him....

Best way of showing the public and family how much he and all officers matter.
