Graham Saville: 'He was everything you'd want in a police officer'
A police inspector has said his former colleague, who died trying to save a distressed man on the railway, was "absolutely everything you would want in a police officer".
Sgt Graham Saville, 46, died on Tuesday after being hit by a train on the tracks in Balderton, near Newark, at about 19:00 BST on Thursday.
Insp Simon Riley, who is chair of the Nottinghamshire Police Federation, said he worked alongside Sgt Saville when he was a response inspector in Nottingham.
