Police officers from across the United Kingdom gathered in London on Monday to line the funeral route of Keith Palmer, who was murdered in the terror attack in the British capital last month.
Members of the public also stopped to pay their respects as Palmer's coffin, bedecked with a floral arrangement which read "No 1 Daddy", was driven the 2.6 miles to Southwark Cathedral.
Around 5,000 serving police officers and 50,000 members of the public lined the route from the Palace of Westminster to Southwark Cathedral for the funeral of PC Keith Palmer.
Masood was shot by police.
Steve Lloyd, of the Police Roll of Honour Trust, said: "We hope that knowing their loved one's name are to be forever remembered will bring some small comfort to the families of the fallen officers".
PC Palmer, aged 48, was married with a five-year-old daughter and had served in the Metropolitan Police for 15 years.
Masood had shortly before knocked down and killed four pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before crashing into the fence around the Houses of Parliament.
Chief Constable Sara Thornton, head of the National Police Chiefs' Council, said the scale of the funeral will be unprecedented as officers hold a two-minutes' silence at 2pm.
Officers bowed their heads as the Last Post sounded from the cathedral.

With this in mind, we asked Mayer what it's like to say goodbye to the series with a game that doesn't star its lead character. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is now slated to release later this year for PS4.
Today each and every one of them was an absolute credit to North Yorkshire and they stood side by side with colleagues from around the country in joining with the Metropolitan Police Service officers to pay a deserved and fitting tribute to an officer who gave his life protecting others.
He wrote: "Tragic day for the United Kingdom and for the police".
"They also wanted to come together as the family of policing to provide support for Keith's family, his friends and his close colleagues".
He will be given a full police funeral.
Hundreds of uniformed officers lined the cortege route from a chapel at the parliament building where Palmer's body had lain overnight to Southwark Cathedral beside the River Thames.
Mr Marsh said the service to mark Mr Palmer's death had been "very moving and poignant" and said it was obvious everyone who knew him had spoken "from the heart".
Before attacking PC Palmer, Masood drove his vehicle into crowds on Westminster Bridge, killing four people and injuring dozens more.
"I can't recall an occasion like this in regard to the number of officers who will be there, but we must not lose sight of the fact that it is a family funeral".
Teacher Aysha Frade, who had a Turkish-Cypriot father; Londoner Leslie Rhodes; and US tourist Kurt W. Cochran died on the bridge.
