The grieving family of an elderly woman who was killed by a police motorbike escorting Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh through London have said the collision was not the royal's fault.
Eyewitnesses speaking earlier this month said Helen Holland was “thrown 40 feet across the road” when she was struck at the junction of West Cromwell Road and Warwick Road in Earl's Court by a Metropolitan Police Service motorcycle.
The 81-year-old, who sustained broken bones and critical internal injuries in the accident, spent two weeks in hospital before her family agreed to switch off her life-support machine on Tuesday.
