Police officers in Bury St Edmunds have paid their tributes to fallen colleagues as part of a national event.

At 8pm on Sunday officers took to angel hill to shine two high powered dragon search lights into the night sky as a mark of respect to the men and women of the Police force who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

The event, which took place on the annual Police Memorial Day was echoed by Police forces across the country

Bury SNT have done an amazing job tonight marking respect for our fallen colleagues.

At the chime of 8pm they pointed two dragon lights onto the night sky for our friends and their families. 🕯 @SuffolkPolice @tpmt_org @Police_Memorial @SuffolkPolFed @CCSuffolkPolice
