A schoolgirl brought tears to the eyes of police in Sandwell when she presented officers with chocolates bought with her spending money – in the hope they’d raise spirits after the Westminster terror attack.
Young Alana paid officers a visit at West Bromwich police station where she handed over the tub of Quality Street.
The eight-year-old – who bought the chocolates with her weekly, spends – told the team she wanted to “cheer them up” and say sorry for the loss of police family member PC Keith Palmer.
Inspector Phil Mees said: “It was such a lovely gesture…there was hardly a dry eye in the house. Obviously the mood was very sombre in the station but Alana’s visit really lifted everyone.”
