NorthStandUltra

Just heard on Talksport that Karl Robinson & Johnnie Jackson will be representing the club at PC Palmer's funeral today.

Nice touch and may he rest in peace

I can't think of anyone I'd rather have represent our football club than JJ.

I understand the family invited Mick Everett and Cliff Eager. Johnnie Jackson and Karl Robinson then asked if they could attend too.

Respect to them both in that case Rick

Very pleased that Mick and JJ will be there to represent us and all the Charlton family.

Thoughts are with Keith Palmer's family and friends this afternoon.

Never seen so many police. A somber atmosphere.

View from our office at 12:30. The procession went past our office at around 10 minutes ago, a very sombre moment, a beautiful act of defiance and a wonderful tribute. Thank you to the Met and all the other police forces involved.

was mentioned on the BBC 1pm news by the family, of his support of Charlton Athletic FC.

Currently up covering the funeral and was part of the Ambulance Service guard of honour and it's been so emotional. Lots of very distressed faces amongst the Police and public alike. Central London came to a stand for a few minutes today and did itself proud.

A good gesture by those two for asking to go, and by all four for attending. The club, and those in it, have done incredibly well in honoring PC Palmer in the manner in which he deserves.

I work close by and they were broadcasting the service... Mentioned CAFC a few times, referenced the fact that we were singing his name against the MK Dons at the same time we let a goal in!

Proper send off for a hero.

Lincsaddick

terrific turn out for a very sad occasion .. (e.g.) NYPD has sent over some representatives ..
may Mr Palmer rest in Peace and may his murderer rot in whichever hell he was most terrified of

Solidgone

Oh so sad and deeply moving.

Lots of nice tributes to Keith Palmer and we should be proud of our own who attended and paid our respects.

A hero of the people. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. Your fellow Addicks will always hold your memory dear.

Private family service was at eltham. Police were all around when I went for my great uncle's funeral long before their's started.

Who was it?

Your mate's son.

I think the private cremation must have been at Falconwood this afternoon.

The London news clip showed quite a lot at The Valley.

Edit just read Talal's post so it was.

Double post sorry.

Today was very moving. I was in the Cathedral in the Royal Artillery contingent. We all personally knew Keith. But I was amazed at the number of overseas police representatives there. Police from America, Europe and Canadian Mounties as well as so many different UK Forces. Keith did us Londoners proud through his brave actions and today we Londoners went some small way to paying him back.

Nice on Jorge.
