The dad of murdered police officer Nicola Hughes has paid tribute to all the brave officers who tragically lost their lives on duty. It was earlier this month, in an interview with the Manchester Evening News , that he remembered the torment of losing his daughter, a decade on from her death.
Bryn Hughes, whose daughter Nicola, from Saddleworth, an officer with Greater Manchester Police was murdered in 2012, joined members of the police family for National Police Memorial Day in Belfast earlier this week (September 25). Constable Nicola Hughes, 23, and colleague Fiona Bone, 32, were killed in an ambush by fugitive gunman Dale Cregan in September 2012.
And earlier this month, uniformed police officers and local leaders stood side by side with family and friends of the two Manchester PCs at a memorial service to marking the 10th anniversary of their tragic deaths. Along with the officers' families and former colleagues, Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham was in attendance, as well and Ashton-under-Lyne MP and Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner.
