Andreea Cristea, 31, Leslie Rhodes, 75, Kurt Cochran, 54, and Aysha Frade, 43, died after Masood ploughed into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge. In her new role, Dick will oversee an organisation with more than 43,000 staff and a budget of more than £3bn. Following Hogan-Howe’s announcement that he would retire after five years as Met commissioner, Dick quickly emerged as the frontrunner to succeed him. Two years later, she was promoted to deputy assistant commissioner and became the Met’s first female assistant commissioner in 2009. Mass protests are expected and Hogan-Howe has called on ministers to make extra resources available for policing the event.
