Chris Cahill: Police Association President on Lyn Fleming's funeral, the public support - Holiday Breakfast

Police officer Lyn Fleming's life will be remembered at a full police funeral today in Nelson.  

She died after she was run over while carrying out patrols in the city on New Year's Day.  

The funeral will be held at the Trafalgar Centre and livestreamed on the Police website and Facebook page.  

Police Association President Chris Cahill says there are unique features to a police funeral, including the police flag draped over the coffin, the police guard, and the performance of a haka. 

He told Tim Beveridge that the public support from across New Zealand have been felt both in Nelson, but also in stations across the country. 

Cahill says the support is always welcomed, even if it's come from incredibly tragic circumstances.
