Colleagues of NSW helicopter paramedic Mick Wilson have carried his coffin into a Sydney church.
His wife Kellie, his two young daughters and his son walked into St James Anglican Church in central Sydney as a guard of honour was formed by paramedics and police officers outside the church.
Mr Wilson’s coffin, wrapped in an Australian flag, was carried in by his colleagues in the NSW Ambulance’s Special Casualty Access Team (SCAT).
Hundreds of people packed the church while hundreds more watched TV screens outside.
The 41-year-old helicopter paramedic died after a winch line was cut during a complex rescue operation on the NSW south coast on Christmas Eve.
Mr Wilson, a paramedic for 15 years, is the first NSW paramedic to be killed on duty in more than 30 years.
