Funeral of PC Fiona Bone to take place today

PC Fiona Bone

Thousands of police officers will line the streets of Manchester today to mark the funeral of former Islander, PC Fiona Bone.

She was killed alongside colleague Nicola Hughes in a gun and grenade attack a fortnight ago while on duty in Hattersley.

The gathered officers will stand shoulder to shoulder around Deansgate whilst Fiona’s funeral procession passes through enroute to the cathedral.

There'll be a strong Manx contingent present, given her family and friendship ties to the Island, with Island police officers in attendance as well as a representative from the Department of Education and Children.

Audio from the service will be broadcast to the gathered public in the cathedral gardens.
