“We have been overwhelmed by the love and support for our family, and most especially, the outpouring of love and respect for our Keith. We want to thank everyone who has reached out to us over the past few days for their kindness and generosity,” the family said. It has made us realise what a caring, strong and supportive family Keith was part of during his career with the police. A JustGiving page set up to raise money for the family of PC Palmer had brought in over £720,000 by Sunday evening, almost three times its target. JustGiving has said that at its peak, there were 667 donations a minute to the page for PC Palmer.
