Funeral arrangements confirmed for police officer killed in horror collision

Friday, 31 January 2025 09:03

PC Rosie Prior tragically died following a collision earlier this month.

North Yorkshire Police has confirmed funeral arrangements on behalf of the family of PC Rosie Prior.

Rosie tragically died on Saturday 11th January in a road traffic collision, which also resulted in the death of Knaresborough man Ryan Welford.

She was hit by a heavy goods vehicle after she had pulled over to help Ryan - whilst off duty - who had been in an earlier, separate collision.

Rosie's funeral will take place at 11am on Thursday 13th February at York Minster.

A police spokesperson said:

“The funeral will be a full ceremonial police funeral involving officers lining the final part of the route for the funeral cortege as it arrives at York Minster.

“The service at the Minster will be a ticketed event limited to family, force and emergency service colleagues and family friends.”

The service will be live-streamed from the Minster to enable members of the public to participate.

When available, you will be able to access the live stream here.

The funeral service will be followed by a private service at Thirsk crematorium.

Rosie's family have requested no flowers.
