From the Police Memorial Trust: "PC Palmer, though unarmed, stopped a knife-wielding terrorist from entering the Palace of Westminster during the 2017 Westminster attack; he died from wounds he received in this attack" and he was posthumously awarded the George Medal.

Our picture source gives a biographical account of this police officer and from the Find a Grave website we learn that his body was cremated after his funeral service at Southwark Cathedral.
