A heartbreaking tribute has been published eight years on from the killing of a Merseyside Police officer.
PC Neil Doyle was hit with a "piledriver" punch while off duty and on a night out with colleagues just six days before Christmas in 2014 in the city centre. Prosecutors claimed two of the attackers, Andrew Taylor and Timmy Donovan, knowingly confronted the 36-year-old as a police constable, and said to him: "Evening officer".
Taylor and Donovan were sentenced to seven years and six months and six years and 10 months respectively after being found guilty of manslaughter by joint enterprise by a unanimous jury after a six-week trial.
