At 11 am this morning a single bell was tolled at St Nicolas Church, and another at St Helen’s Church, Abingdon. This was out of respect for PC Andrew Harper who died from multiple injuries when he was dragged under a van on a road near Sulhamstead, Berkshire, on 15th August. The funeral was today, at 11 am, at Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford .

In the window of the Sue Rider charity shop is a tribute to PC Harper.

A police car and two policemen were nearby. People were stopping to say a few words to them about PC Harper who was based at Abingdon Police Station and is well remembered in the town.
