Widow of Sir James Anderton, Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police.
It is with profound sadness that we confirm the passing of Joan, Lady Anderton, at the age of 90, during the night of Friday 29th May 2026.
Lady Joan was the widow of Sir James Anderton, renowned and highly regarded by so many of us as Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police. She will be remembered with equal affection by so many members of GMP for her steadfast and enthusiastic support for us all, as well as for Sir Jim, through both good and testing times.
