Quote:

THERE were unprecedented scenes in Falmouth today as an estimated five to 6,000 people took to the town’s streets to walk the beat one more time in memory of PC Andy Hocking.

Thousands of people gathered on The Moor to pay their final tribute to the town’s community beat officer, who died suddenly last Sunday.

Led by his wife Sally and their two daughters Megan and Gracie, as well as the organiser of the memorial event Matt Barnicoat, thousands of people walked Andy’s beat in recognition of his service to the community.

To put that in context Falmouth have a population of 21,000. :shocked:

It seems he was very popular: http://www.falmouthpacket.co.uk/news...s_died/?ref=mr
