Calls have been made for a memorial to honour Britain's first ever Asian woman police officer.
Karpal Kaur Sandhu joined London's Metropolitan Police exactly 40 years ago, on 1 February 1971.
It was a dream come true for the mother-of-two - but her life came to a brutal end in 1973 when she was murdered by her husband.
He objected to her career, claiming it was neither Asian nor ladylike, and was given a life sentence for his crime.
