I love that he loved animals
Rest in peace, Sir Patrick Stewart, who passed away today at the age of 86. Perhaps best known for his iconic role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Stewart spent the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown sharing videos of himself reading Shakespeare’s sonnets. Notably, he was once joined by his neighbor’s cat Glenn who appeared unimpressed by Sonnet 40.

New friends over rainbow bridge RPD Jimmy.Hugs to your friends and family and thank you for every day that you supported the people on your patch💙🌈🐾🤗
Our precious RPD Jimmy. Our 700th member. We thought there would be so much more time. 💜
We are heartbroken to share the news that RPD Jimmy, who served with @nottspolice for six and a half years, has travelled over Rainbow Bridge very unexpectedly.
We only saw him two months ago and completely fell in love with him. Welcoming him as the 700th member of the NFRSA family was such a special moment.
To be writing this now is desperately sad.
Jimmy was James’ first General Purpose Police Dog, fulfilling the dream that had brought him into policing 23 years earlier. Together, they served as a General Purpose and Firearms Support partnership.
Jimmy’s phenomenal nose found people who would otherwise have escaped, and through it all, he always had James’ back.
Affectionately known as ‘Jimmy the Gob’, his enthusiasm could certainly be heard. But behind that wonderful, noisy character was an affectionate, loyal family dog, and James’ best mate.
When Jimmy became unwell and wasn’t himself two weeks ago, James was worried sick. On the Sunday morning, he rang the vets to arrange to bring him in.
James’ son had been away overnight and arrived home that morning.
Jimmy had waited for him.
Then, at home, in his own bed, surrounded by the people he loved most, Jimmy knew what was best, and he gently fell asleep for the last time.
There is comfort in knowing he was with his family. But it doesn’t make losing him any less heartbreaking.
After everything he had given, Jimmy deserved years of retirement. Time to potter, play, make a tremendous racket and simply be loved. He had barely begun.
His sudden loss has rocked his family, and ours.
To James, his family, and all who loved Jimmy - we are so very sorry. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary boy with us.
Sleep peacefully, dear Jimmy. Our 700th member, and always part of our family.

In Memory of RPD Iggy - Police Scotland.
We are very sad to share we have said goodbye to a member of the NFRSA family.
Retired Police Dog Iggy, a remarkable Dutch Shepherd, also known as a Dutch Herder, dedicated years of his life to protecting communities as a General Purpose Dog with @PoliceScotland.
Serving in the Fife area from September 2013 until July 2019, Iggy played a vital role in policing, helping to apprehend offenders and earning a reputation as a highly capable and extremely determined working dog.
He regularly made local newspaper headlines after helping to catch suspects, especially on one occasion when he apprehended some prolific burglars.
Following retirement, Iggy began a new and gentler chapter as a much-loved family companion.
Although his working days were behind him, he never lost the enthusiasm and energy which defined him.
He adored long walks, agility sessions, cuddles, tummy rubs and spending time with the people who loved him the most.
Sadly, after a brief illness,
Iggy crossed rainbow bridge peacefully in the arms of his family last weekend. He was just short of his 14th birthday.
His family shared these words in his memory:
"On the 18th of October, with a gentle hand and a heavy heart, our wonderful RPD Dutch Shepherd Iggy passed away peacefully in our arms, only a few days before his 14th birthday. After years of dedicated service, he brought endless loyalty, strength, and joy into our lives during his well-earned retirement.”
“Iggy, you leave behind massive paw prints on our hearts that can never be replaced. Thank you for your service, your devotion, your hyperness - but mostly your love.”
“Rest easy our brave boy, until we meet again. We will miss you forever."
Thank you for everything, Iggy. Your duty is done - now it’s time to rest.
That’s brilliant PD Frankie and PC Eddie! Putting your lives to save others 💙🐾

BREAKING NEWS! This👇 Violent Scumbag who assaulted Two Female GMP Armed Officers at Manchester Airport breaking PC Lydia Wards nose & Head-butting & punching a member of public Today LOST his Appeal to Appeal against his 3.5yrs Prison Sentence & Rightly so; he actually (In my opinion) got away with another ABH on Armed Officer PC Marsden too👇
Have the best time in retirement PD Viper and thank you for your service 💙🐾
