A UK policewoman is hoping to complete a 100-mile cycle in the coming days in memory of Detective Garda Colm Horkan.

Amy Knott, who works with Morecambe Police, is taking part in the UK Police Unity Tour for the fourth time, to raise awareness and honour police officers who have died in the line of duty.

The event raises money for a charity that provides support to families of police officers who have been killed while in uniform called CoPs.

Amy's mother and stepfather live in Glenamaddy and she says when she heard about the death of the 49-year-old Garda in June, she was left in total shock.

Amy says because of her close connection to the area she wanted to be able to do something to show support to Colm's colleagues and family:
