Chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council, Chief Constable Sara Thornton, said:

“I know that I speak for chief police officers across the country when I say that we are deeply saddened by the horrific events in London yesterday. Our thoughts and condolences are with the families and friends of the victims and all those injured or affected. We are devastated by the loss of our brave colleague PC Keith Palmer as he went about his duties. We offer our thanks to the first responders - professionals and public alike - who put the safety and wellbeing of others before their own. Now and always, we stand together.”
