Capital and Constabulary pay respects

Tributes continue after Westminster horror

The Mayor and Mayoress of Douglas have joined the local voices paying tribute to all those involved in yesterday's Westminster attack.

As a former officer of the Metropolitan Police herself, Mayoress Skinner sent sympathies to the family of PC Keith Palmer - who was stabbed to death whilst on patrol yesterday afternoon.

She said the death of a public servant, 'whose job it was to protect others', was a particular heartbreak.

The Isle of Man Constabulary has been flying flags at half mast outside its Headquarters today, in a show of solidarity.

The Council of Ministers also held a moment of silence before their usual weekly proceedings this morning.
