Remembering the brave police officers lured to their deaths by Dale Cregan

A memorial service has taken place to mark the 10th anniversary of the murders of police officers Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes who died in a gun and grenade attack executed by Dale Gregan.

PC Hughes, 23, and PC Bone, 32, were shot dead by Cregan on September 18 2012. Cregan, who was on the run at the time in relation to two gangland murders, lured the two officers to an address in the Mottram area of Tameside in Greater Manchester with a bogus report of a burglary.

During a memorial service outside Hyde Police Station this morning (Sunday September 18) wreaths were laid and a minute's silence was held at 10.53am - the exact time PC Bone and PC Hughes were murdered. Along with the officers' families and former colleagues, Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham attended, along with Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner.
