Police officers have gathered in Sheffield to honour colleagues who have died while working for South Yorkshire Police.

Mounted police formed a guard of honour outside before the private service at Sheffield Cathedral, which was attended by family and friends of officers who have lost their lives since the force was formed in 1974.

The names of the six officers killed in the line of duty were read out and candles were lit to represent each district of the force.
