The National Police Air Service and the Police Service of Northern Ireland conducted a formation fly past over St. Paul’s Cathedral this afternoon as part of the service of remembrance for National Police Memorial Day 2016. A fitting tribute to honour almost 4,000 fallen colleagues, police air support crews flew in a diamond formation with four aircraft above the congregation as they were leaving the service.
Speaking about the fly past, Chief Superintendent Tyron Joyce, Chief Operating Officer for the National Police Air Service said: “National Police Memorial Day recognises the bravery and dedication of serving police officers across the UK. I am proud that the National Police Air Service could play its part in this hugely significant day and offer a fitting tribute to our colleagues who have lost their lives in the line of duty.”
An official annual national day, National Police Memorial Day provides a dignified and sensitive service of remembrance each year to honour the courage and ultimate sacrifice of Police Officers throughout the UK. After the inaugural service was held at St Paul’s in 2004, it has subsequently been held at different venues across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. This year, it returned to St. Paul’s. With the patronage of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the event is supported by and attended by Royalty, the Government and Police Forces across the UK.
