He also thanked those who him helped on the night he was targeted.
"To the brave people who ran to help me when I was shot - that took some guts as they were putting themselves in harm's way," he said. "And thank you to the emergency services and the amazing medical staff who looked after me in many ways, for many months."In a pre-recorded message played at the event, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak described the detective as "a true hero of Northern Ireland"."When I visited him in his hospital bed, he was still thinking about the future of the society he loves," Mr Sunak said.
