Behind every name remembered today is a life dedicated to protecting others.
Today, at our Annual Ceremony of Remembrance, we honour Metropolitan Police officers who served in harm’s way, and those who paid the ultimate price.
Their legacy lives on in those they protected and those who continue to serve.
Words by Rev. Prebendary Jonathan Osborne MBE, Senior Chaplain.
"We want to use Henry’s heartbreaking story to make change for the better. We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension.”
I am in awe of Henry Nowak's family.
Anyone callously ignoring their wishes deserves nothing but contempt.

We never met, but I've reposted your posts to many former colleagues. You will be so missed. A very sad loss to the Met.
Wishing you a wonderful future 🥰
And just like that, 12 years, 2 medals, a whole bunch of memories and wonderful friends later; I’m done.
Policing you were my childhood dream.
I’m so proud to have been one of you and do my small bit.
You’ll always be part of me, but time to live and move on. #ThinBlueLine 🚨

It’s safe so say that sometimes we don’t appreciate how much can happen in 48 hours.
A message to you all from a very grateful Superintendent. 🫡

UAE exit strategy:
A British Airways 787 from Muscat in Oman has just landed at London Heathrow, carrying BA pilots and cabin crew who were stranded in the UAE when airspace closed.
That's the likely evacuation route for passengers if flights stay grounded

Statement from Alex Pretti’s parents, Michael and Susan Pretti:
“We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world.
Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting.
Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.”
Sorry, so the reason for all of our problems, isn’t austerity, isn’t funding, isn’t poor leadership…👀
It’s, *checks notes*, “Criminals are outsmarting Police Forces because they don’t have a licence to practice…” 😆
Who made that up? And who believes it? 🤦🏼♂️
