On Thursday 29th July 2021 a team of 20 riders will set off from Gretna with the aim of cycling to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire as part of the UK Police Unity Tour. Each team member will wear an engraved wrist band which bears the details of the fallen officer they are riding in memory of and on arrival at the COPS memorial Service within the grounds of the National Memorial Arboretum the rider will hand the band over to a family member of the fallen Officer.
