Almost 10,000 people are expected to attend a memorial service in Brisbane today for the slain police constables Rachel McCrow and Matthew Arnold. The two officers were shot and killed in a deadly ambush in rural Queensland last week. The service will also be livestreamed on televisions stationed throughout Queensland, with the event at the scale of a state funeral. Producer Ben Strang spoke to ABC regional reporter Toby Jurss-Lewis, who says the community is still reeling from what happened.
