Police flag at half mast following London attack

Thu, 23 Mar 2017

The Manx flag at Police Headquarters has been lowered today as a mark of respect following the terrorism incident in London.

Four people including the assailant died in yesterday's attack in Westminster, while seven remain critically injured.

Chief Constable of the Isle of Man Constabulary Gary Roberts shared a picture on social media of the flag at the police base at half mast.

Among those killed was PC Keith Palmer - a Metropolitan Police officer who was stabbed while trying to stop the attacker at the Houses of Parliament.

The Island's Council of Ministers held a moment of reflection in honour of those affected by the attack ahead of their meeting this morning.
