Police honour fallen Westminster colleague

Flags are flying at half-mast at Police Headquarters today as a mark of respect to the officer who lost his life in London yesterday.

PC Keith Palmer was killed in what’s thought to be a terror attack at the gates of the Houses of Parliament.

Today police here are paying their respects with flags lowered at the Glencrutchery Road headquarters.

The president of Tynwald, Steve Rodan, has also extended his sympathies to those affected by yesterday's attack. 

His message says: "On behalf of Tynwald I extend profound sympathy to the families of the victims of the shocking terrorist attack in London. Members of Tynwald and the people of the Isle of Man deplore this assault on the seat of parliamentary democracy at Westminster, with the attendant loss of life and terrible injury to innocent people.

"We stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow parliamentarians in the United Kingdom in resisting such acts of extremist hostility to our way of life."
