Blinded PC was planning a new life in Australia

David Rath Band, a police officer blinded by Raul Moat, showed resilience by raising charity funds and planning a new life in Australia. Despite his positive outlook, he tragically took his own life, unable to cope with his blindness. His brother Darren organized a memorial service to celebrate David's life and promote healing. The service aims to transform the narrative from tragedy to reconciliation, with further public services planned by Northumbria Police.
