It is with sadness that I report the death of retired Police Officer William (Bill) Harry WALKER Pc917 who sadly passed away at his Stapleford home on the 22nd November 2025 after a long illness. He was 78yrs.

Bill, as he was known joined the Police Service in September 1966 and retired in April 1996. On retirement from the service he went to work for the Nottinghamshire Coroners Office as a Coroners Officer. He served most of his time at Beeston and Stapleford and if I remember correctly spent some time in the Collators office at Beeston. (I’m sure Bob ABRAHALL will correct me if I am wrong.)

Bill leaves his wife Christine and sons Duncan and Alexander and their respective wives Kirsty and Kathrine.

Bill WALKER, Retired Pc917, sadly passed away on the 22nd November 2025 after a long illness. He was 78yrs.

His funeral arrangements are as follows:-

A Cremation Service will take place at Bramcote Crematorium, Coventry Lane, Bramcote, Nottingham at 1pm Tuesday 16th December 2025. This will be followed by a Celebration of his Life to be held at the Risley Park Public House, Risley, Derbyshire DE72 3SS.
