MORE than 100 police officers lined the approach to St Mary's Church in Weaverham yesterday, Tuesday, for the funeral of PC Kevin Brinkman.

The guard of honour was in tribute to the father-of-one from Northwich who was killed in a minibus crash in Thailand.

He was there helping to identify bodies of tsunami victims.

PC Brinkman, who was due to marry his long-term partner and fiance this year, was serving in Phuket as part of the British police response team to the Asian disaster.
