Colleagues of PC Keith Palmer, the officer killed in the Westminster attack, have paid tribute to the "perfect policeman".
PC Palmer's body is currently lying at rest in Westminster's Chapel of St Mary Undercroft after it was received with a guard of honour last night.
The 48-year-old died after being stabbed by Khalid Masood, who was then shot dead by armed officers in the precincts of the Palace of Westminster.
Masood had knocked down and killed four pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before crashing into the fence around the Houses of Parliament.
PC Palmer's coffin will be taken from the Palace of Westminster to Southwark Cathedral for his funeral later.
Thousands of officers from across the country are expected to line the streets around the cathedral during the service, which is to be followed by a private cremation.
