Wieambilla shooting victim Alan Dare given hero’s send-off in Ipswich
That’s how friends and family have remembered the generous, caring and humble 58-year-old, who was shot dead along with two police officers at Wieambilla last week.
Dare was given a hero’s send-off on Friday with hundreds of people lining the streets of his hometown, Ipswich, to pay respects as his coffin passed, escorted by three police motorbikes and heading a procession of XC Ford Falcon Cobras, his favourite car. His emotional children Renee and Corey Richards struggled to find words after the sudden loss of the treasured husband, grandfather, father, son and brother.
The same humble man was praised by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese last week after he did “the great Australian thing and went to help”, for which he’s been posthumously awarded the Queensland Police Bravery Medal.
