Yesterday
(10th April) on the occasion of the Service Funeral at London's Southwark Cathedral for Metropolitan Police
Constable Keith Palmer, free travel for serving Police Officers attending (and in some cases retired officers), was offered by most of
the railway companies, along with London Overground & Underground. This allowed officers from many parts of the United
Kingdom to pay their respects to a fellow officer and in turn, line the route of the funeral cortege.
Among the first companies were Grand
Central and Virgin Trains. Others then followed suit, splendid gestures well
appreciated by all concerned.
