Touching moment as former police officer is granted dying wish

An elderly woman in palliative care who was the first female mounted police officer in the UK has had her final wish granted by the NSW Mounted Police.

Rita Meredith (nee Browning), originally from England made history in her early 20s. After serving in the police force for two years, Rita moved to the UK Mounted Police unit in the 1960s.

The 75-year-old who has been unwell for quite some time is seeing out her final days at Calvary Mater Hospital in Newcastle, NSW. Her dying wish was to be able 'to smell or see a horse one more time'.
