Charlton are doing the right thing to honour the police officer who passed away in Westminster terror attack

Charlton are doing all that they can to pay their respects to PC Keith Palmer, who lost his life in the terror attack in Westminster last week.

PC Palmer was stabbed by a man attempting to storm parliament last Wednesday and his courage has been lauded ever since.

On the morning after the attack Charlton Athletic recognised the tragic passing of PC Palmer, a season-ticket holder at the Valley, by placing a red and white scarf on the seat that he called his own for so many years.

That scarf will remain in place until their next home tie, which takes place next Tuesday, while the seat has been emblazoned with his warrant number P204752 and will remain as such for the rest of the season.

And the club has since announced that they are set to dedicate the upcoming home game, against Milton Keynes Dons, to the memory of PC Palmer, a true patriot.

Charlton are going to donate 50 per cent of all ticket sales to the Palmer family and the Addicks players will also contribute their match appearance fees to the family.

The home side will wear black armbands next Tuesday, as well as special shirts with PC Palmer’s warrant number stitched on to the fabric as a reminder of the matchless bravery of the 48-year-old, who had served as a police officer for 15 years.

Talks are also underway to have Keith’s memory honoured with a permanent memorial at Charlton’s ground, expected to be erected alongside the existing memorials at the rear of the West Stand.

On what is expected to be an emotional evening of football, supporters have also been invited to pay their respects by leaving tributes of their own at the foot of the Sam Bartram statue.
