Reported that Merseyside Chief Constable wants to meet the taxi driver who stood to attention as the funeral of our fallen Policeman passed by.
Do people no longer do this? As a child when a funeral passed by my family would always stand to attention and my father would raise his hat. In fact if walking I still stop and bow my head
Do retired Service people salute at non military funerals?
My male family members used to wear black armbands on their coat sleeves.How long was this for and apart from sport fixtures is this still done elsewhere? If not when did this die out?
