On 18 March 2009, Ambassador Mark Kent visited the London borough of Hackney where a big Vietnamese community lives. He attended a reception hosted by Dr Vu Khanh Thanh, Director of An Viet Foundation. Photo: Ambassador Mark Kent shakes hands with the Chef of Huong Viet restaurant.
Jahmal Mason-Blair was murdered when he tried to stop a petty dispute over a bicycle between midnight and 1am on May 23, 2009. He was a talented footballer and many tribute items have reflected this - shoes, T-shirts and medallions.
I have been very touched at the way this tribute site has grown every day and the crowd that shows up tirelessly to stand and crouch quietly, some in prayer but always to support each other. This young man was obviously very loved and his death has brought the oft-maligned Hackney into wonderful focus. When tragedy strikes, they are there for each other.
The King & Queen of Hackney live in here.
