Tony Weatherall, accordion. North Shropshire Cajun & Zydeco Big Weekend, Saturday afternoon, 18 August 2012.
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.

A hackney or hackney carriage (also called a cab, hack or London taxi) is a carriage or automobile for hire.[1] A livery carriage superior to the hackney was called a remise.[2]
In the United Kingdom, the name hackney carriage refers to a taxicab licensed by the Public Carriage Office in Greater London or by the local authority (non-metropolitan district councils or unitary authorities) in other parts of Great Britain, or by theDepartment of the Environment in Northern Ireland.
In the United States, the police department of the city of Boston has a Hackney Carriage Unit, analogous to taxicab regulators in other cities, that issues Hackney Carriage medallions to its taxi operators.[3]
The King & Queen of Hackney live in here.
I think it looks like a ginormous pepper pot with a screw-top lid. But it'd be "OFF WITH *my* HEAD!!!" if I'd said that too loud and they'd heard me.
