The officer's funeral service was held today, leading to moving tributes around the world.

Sgt. Ratana was shot as he went to handcuff a suspect.

The service was live-streamed around the world to well-wishers, including relatives in his native New Zealand.

The funeral service of Sgt Matt Ratana will take place later this morning.

In tribute to Matt, a number of his colleagues have come together to remember their much loved friend.
