in General Charlton
Just heard on Talksport that Karl Robinson & Johnnie Jackson will be representing the club at PC Palmer's funeral today.

Nice touch and may he rest in peace

    All roads blocked off here from my part of the City.

    Here is the route today. I think the service begins at 2pm.

    Very pleased that Mick and JJ will be there to represent us and all the Charlton family.

    Thoughts are with Keith Palmer's family and friends this afternoon.

    Never seen so many police. A somber atmosphere.

    View from our office at 12:30. The procession went past our office at around 10 minutes ago, a very sombre moment, a beautiful act of defiance and a wonderful tribute. Thank you to the Met and all the other police forces involved.

    Currently up covering the funeral and was part of the Ambulance Service guard of honour and it's been so emotional. Lots of very distressed faces amongst the Police and public alike. Central London came to a stand for a few minutes today and did itself proud.

    I understand the family invited Mick Everett and Cliff Eager. Johnnie Jackson and Karl Robinson then asked if they could attend too.

    A good gesture by those two for asking to go, and by all four for attending. The club, and those in it, have done incredibly well in honoring PC Palmer in the manner in which he deserves.

    I work close by and they were broadcasting the service... Mentioned CAFC a few times, referenced the fact that we were singing his name against the MK Dons at the same time we let a goal in!

    terrific turn out for a very sad occasion .. (e.g.) NYPD has sent over some representatives ..
    may Mr Palmer rest in Peace and may his murderer rot in whichever hell he was most terrified of

    Lots of nice tributes to Keith Palmer and we should be proud of our own who attended and paid our respects.

    A hero of the people. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. Your fellow Addicks will always hold your memory dear.

    Your mate's son.

    I think the private cremation must have been at Falconwood this afternoon.

    The London news clip showed quite a lot at The Valley.

    Edit just read Talal's post so it was.
