Police and rail staff go extra mile to pay tribute to policeman killed in Westminster
An elderly member of the public dropped off a bunch of flowers at Sheffield's Moss Way Police Station to remember the tragic events last week in London and said she wanted the gesture of condolence to be passed to PC Palmer's family.
Even though it was well out of the remit of police duties, as they were currently dealing with a number of incidents as well as trying to bring some relief to residents fed up with off road bikers, the officer on the enquiry desk, PC Rachel Attwell, didn't want to let the lady down.
