One tribute, accompanied by an image of Pc Harper smiling with a friend, said: ‘Harps, I am truly gutted. A great cop, a great man, a great friend.Thames Valley Chief Constable John Campbell said on Friday that Pc Harper joined as a special constable in 2010 before becoming a police officer a year later, serving in the Roads Policing Proactive Unit based at Abingdon.

He made the page with a £500 target for the 20-mile, 200-obstacle Dirty Weekend race in Peterborough in May next year.
