A senior detective who survived an attempted murder bid earlier this year attended a garden party at Hillsborough Castle with the King and Queen.
Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell was shot several times at a sports centre in Omagh, Co Tyrone, in February. This was his first public appearance since the attack. It is understood that he had a private audience with the King ahead of the event.
Mr Caldwell, who was critically ill for some time at Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry, was left with life-changing injuries. He was discharged from hospital last month to continue his recovery at home.
