QuoteThe Prince of Wales is set to attend an event to honour police officers who were killed while on duty.

Home Secretary Theresa May is also expected to attend the National Police Memorial Day event, to be held at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast.

The prince, who is patron of a service which moves around the UK, attended last year's event in Cardiff.

Sgt Joe Holness, who founded the commemoration, said it was a special day to remember those that have died.  "It is a day that is as profound now as it was 11 years ago when this event first started," he said.

Glad to see the Home Secretary and the PoW will be in attendance at this event to honor the men and women who provide service throughout the nation.

QuoteThe Prince of Wales Attends the National Police Memorial Day

The Prince of Wales has said an immense debt of gratitude is owed for the enormous sacrifices of police in Northern Ireland.

His Royal Highness paid tribute to the exceptional bravery of those who lost their lives in the line of duty and assured relatives left behind that they are remembered.

A total of 303 Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) and reservists were killed between 1966, just before the start of the conflict, and 1998.

In a message given in his capacity as Patron of the National Police Memorial Day, The Prince of Wales said: "We are drawn together from across the UK to demonstrate our deep respect for these brave men and women.

"They will never be forgotten and through us, their exceptional legacy will always be remembered."

How nice that there is a ceremony for this!! We spend so much time honoring the military, we often forget about those public defenders that take care of us on home soil too :hug:
