@PetronellaWyatt Rebecca was on my shift as a probationer. A shift that produced two chief Constables and no end of other talent. She is one of them.

@BettyBoochichi2 I've been to some utterly catastrophic scenes, but six people gone between a car and a bike? Unimaginable. You deal with it. And then you start to watch the ripple. It is unending.
