Islanders say goodbye to Mitch Couriard
Hundreds of people have turned up to pay their respects to the former Vingtenier who was well known for his volunteer and community work.
Opportunity for Islanders for pay tribute to Mitch Couriard
The Jersey Youth Service has opened a book of condolence for Islanders for pay tribute to Honorary police officer, Mitch Couriard, who died last Friday.
He had been unwell for a number of months.
Mitch was known to many islanders for his work, both policing high profile events, including the Battle of Flowers, but also for the years he dedicated to the island's youth service.
He was a Vingtenier in the parish of St Helier, and was made an MBE for his voluntary work.
Mitch was also one of the torch bearers during the relay ahead of the Olympic Games in 2012
The book will be available for people to sign all of this week from 8:30am to 5pm.
