Mourners gather for slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller’s funeral on Long Island
NY Post
Hundreds are expected to attend the funeral for NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, which is set for 10:30 a.m. Saturday on Long Island.
Local streets were blocked off by 7:30 a.m. in preparation for the service at St. Rose of Lima R.C. Church in Massapequa, which was decked out with American flags.
Dozens of houses had blue ribbons tied to their trees, while another house’s flag flew at half-staff.
Uniformed police officers also trawled the area with their K9s by their sides, and speakers were placed about a block away from the church to accommodate possible overflow.
Three members of Diller’s wife’s family – including her brother and cousin – are expected to march in the first line of the NYPD pipe band during the procession.
The Saturday service comes after two days of emotional viewings at a nearby funeral home.
