A funeral for the hero police officer who died trying to stop a terrorist during the Westminster terror attack will be held in the coming days.

PC Keith Palmer was stabbed to death as he tried to stop crazed killer Khalid Masood after the terrorist crashed into the gates of the Palace of Westminster before being shot dead. Five innocent people were killed in the attack.

Hundreds of people are expected to gather and remember the officer, including his colleagues from the force, at the full police service funeral in central London.

His friends, family and even his beloved Charlton Athletic football club have paid tribute to the “amazing and wonderful” fallen officer.

The Metropolitan Police has now released details on when and where the celebration of PC Palmer’s life will be held, and the roads that will be affected during the cortege.

Here's all the details on when the funeral is, where it will take place and how you can watch the procession.

When and where is the funeral?

The “full-force” funeral of the 48-year-old husband and father will be held at Southwark Cathedral.

It will begin at 2pm on Monday, April 10.

What route will it take?

The funeral cortege, flanked by a police escort, will travel from the Palace of Westminster – the scene where the hero office was stabbed - down Millbank.

After crossing Lambeth Bridge, it will head east on Lambeth Palace Road, towards Stamford Street.

It will then travel through Borough High Street and onto Cathedral Place, before stopping outside the Cathedral garden entrance.

Where can I watch the procession?

Hundreds of people are expected to line the streets of London as the cortege, which will see that a number of roads closed as it travels between the Palace of Westminster and Southwark Cathedral, takes place.

The roads in which it will pass through are listed below.
