More than 400 police from around the country and hundreds of family friends and membersof the public filled the church and spilled onto the grounds and into a nearby hall wherethe service was broadcast.
Among the mourners was police Commissioner PETER RYAN, who's described Senior ConstableMCENALLY as a meticulous, determined and enthusiastic officer with a great sense of dutyto the public.
