Police Officer Simon Bohr, who was fatally shot during an operation in Volklingen a week ago, was laid to rest in a moving funeral ceremony in Saarlouis on Thursday.

The crime has sparked nationwide outrage, with widespread sympathy for Simon Bohr's death felt throughout Germany and neighboring countries, as well as the Saarland population.
The memorial service was not public but was broadcast in a media center set up for the occasion. The widow of Simon Bohr addressed the mourners during the service, but her words were not made public.
Police President Thorsten Weiler described the current situation as one of the darkest hours for the Saarland police. He stated that Simon Bohr gave everything for the protection and security of his fellow human beings. Simon Bohr was described as an incredibly positive, professional, reliable, and approachable person.
During the service, a trumpet solo of the Beatles' song "Yesterday" was played, bringing a poignant moment to the proceedings.
The politician who attended the central memorial ceremony for Simon Bohr was Saarland's Minister-President Anke Rehlinger (SPD); also present was Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU).
