The funeral of Janet Knott Ex Ch Insp TDZ was on Friday 3rd March 2017 and the turn out was good with many retired officers from other garages.
Our garage (TDZ) was represented by myself, Tony and Mary Larlham, Jackie Lover, Carol Baker, Barry and Mary Turner, Bob Grady, Mick Ashbrook,
Dave Whitehead and Stuart Care. The Met Police Traffic Div carried out the escort and Traffic Officers lined the route around the Crematorium.
They did the Funeral proud. The three Motor cycle outriders were all Traffic Sgts a site to behold and in our day would have been worth an entry in the Guinness Book of records!!!
