People from across the country are coming together in Langford to remember a fallen Mountie.
Sarah Beckett was killed in the line of duty and a vigil was held on Sunday to remember her.
Almost 3,000 mourners, including police officers, gathered to honour the 32-year-old, who died last week after her police cruiser was t-boned by a truck in Langford.

The group walked from the crash site to Veterans Memorial Park to hold the vigil.
