BBC news says that a body has been discovered near where the bobby went missing when the bridge gave way in Workington.

Very sad, he was only trying to help others.

Very Sad! 😥

That's a real shame. The only positive is that he died helping the public in the line of duty, not at the hand of some thieving vermin with a gun. Terrible for his family at this time of year.

PC Bill Barker, father of 4. 25 years service, died as a result of the collapse of the main bridge in Workington, Northside Bridge – the main bridge on the A597 into the town.

Indeed. That mans a hero in my book.

RIP PC Barker

father of 4. 25 years service,

Sad loss. Deepest condolences to his poor family.
RIP.

Tragic.

RIP.

Very sad news. Thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

We should be proud that we have people willing to put their lives on the line to save others like this.

Rest in peace.
