[Guest Close Slopjockey]

Glenn Thomas Goodman

Special Constable

North Yorkshire Police

Died 7 June 1992, aged 37

While on mobile patrol with a regular officer, they were questioning two men in a car in the early hours near Tadcaster when, without warning, both officers were shot and he was fatally wounded. The males were part of an IRA ASU.

Posthumously awarded the Queen's Commendation for Brave Conduct.
A memorial stone was erected at the scene by the Police Memorial Trust.

[Guest Close Slopjockey]

Metropolitan Police

WPC Jane Philippa Arbuthnot

Died 17 December 1983, aged 22

Sgt Noel Joseph Lane

Died 17 December 1983, aged 28

Insp Stephen John Dodd

Died 24 December 1983, aged 34

All fatally injured in an explosion while investigating a terrorist car bomb.
A warning of the bomb came when a man using an IRA code word telephoned the central London branch of the Samaritans organisation at 12:44. The caller said there were bombs inside and outside Harrods specifying the registration number of the car the device was in, but not its make or colour. Four police officers in a car, a dog handler, and an officer on foot approached the car when the bomb went off. The police car absorbed much of the blast, probably reducing other casualties. Six people were killed, three passers-by (including one citizen of the United States), and three Metropolitan Police officers. Those killed were: Philip Geddes journalist, 24, Kenneth Salvesen 28, Jasmine Cochrane-Patrick 25, Police sergeant Noel Lane 28, and Police constable Jane Arbuthnot 22. Police inspector Stephen Dodd,34, was fatally injured and died 24 December. Police constable Jon Gordon survived, but lost both legs and part of a hand in the blast. The PIRA claimed that the bomb had not been authorised by them.

Exp/O Roger Philip Goad BEM

Died 29 August 1975, aged 40

Posthumously awarded the George Cross for Gallantry.

Captain Roger Philip Goad, GC, BEM was an Explosives Officer with the Metropolitan Police Force who was posthumously awarded the George Cross for the heroism he displayed on 29 August 1975. He had previously been awarded the British Empire Medal.

Following a telephone tip-off, police officers found a suspicious package placed in front of a shop in Kensington. A former British Army officer, Goad was the senior bomb disposal expert on the scene. Captain Goad, a married man with two children, had been decorated for gallantry while serving in the Army. Goad attempted to defuse the bomb but it exploded, killing him instantly. The bomb, fitted with an anti handling device, had been placed by Provisional Irish Republican Army members.

The bomb had been placed by the active service unit responsible for the 1974 – 1975 terror campaign in London, who were later captured at the conclusion of the Balcombe Street siege. Captain Goad was 40 years old at the time of his death. His citation was published in the London Gazette of 1 October 1976


**********

Exp/O Kenneth Robert Howorth

Died 26 October 1981, aged 49

Posthumously awarded the George Medal for Gallantry.

Kenneth Howorth served 23 years with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC) with postings to Austria, Japan, Tripoli, Stonecutters Island in Hong Kong plus various United Kingdom bases. In 1973 he joined the Metropolitan Police as a civilian Explosives Officer. On 26 October 1981, he was killed while attempting to defuse a booby-trapped improvised explosive device (IED) planted by the IRA in a Wimpy burger restaurant, Oxford Street, London

**********

PC Stephen Andrew Tibble

Died 26 February 1975, aged 21

Posthumously awarded the Queen's Police Medal for Gallantry

During a chase through the Barons Court area of London, Stephen Tibble was shot and killed by Liam Quinn, a member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army.
Quinn, a U.S. citizen from a Irish Republican family in San Francisco who had immersed himself in all things Irish, including adopting an Irish accent. A Provisional IRA volunteer, he had replaced Brendan Dowd as a member of the IRA Active Service Unit operating in London at the time.

Posthumously awarded the Queen's Police Medal for Gallantry

I hope that you don't mind me posting this on the thread but I would like to place the following for a friend from a long time ago:

PC Laurence Peter Brown

Died 28 August 1990, aged 27

Shot dead with a sawn-off shotgun as he approached a suspect in Pownall Rd, London E8.

'Rest Easy Loz, always in our memories'

[Guest Close Jimmy Mac]

Why on earth would anyone mind you posting that on this site Slops ... if anyone objects then I'd suggest that they're in the wrong place mate.

I have again been invited to participate at the RUC Memorial Service on Sunday and will do so with pride.

Not all were known to us, but each one a colleague.

We Will Remember Them

[Guest Close Brownie]

Very brave people, the respective communities owe them and their families a great deal.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

Oh my God! So many young lives cut short and for what? So that the perpertrators can be released early without serving the sentences they were lawfully given :twisted: :twisted: .

We will remember them.




Slops, it this a Northern Ireland remembrance or is it nationwide? Is there a commemoration ceremony/service?

[Guest Close theduke]

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

[Guest Close Jimmy Mac]

Merc, not meaning to answer on Slops' behalf, but as it's National Police Memorial Day I think there are memorial Services being held throughout the country. I wouldn't know where they're being held though so I can't help you there.

[Guest Close goldwingtaffy]

[Guest Close Slopjockey]

The main service this year is in Cardiff......I think next year it's Northern Ireland
