A large crowd attends vigil for boy who died in Hainault sword attack.

Hundreds of people came together to honor and remember Daniel Anjorin, a 14-year-old who tragically lost his life in a senseless sword attack on his way to school. The mourners gathered at a vigil held in the car park of Hainault Underground station, just a short distance from where Daniel was fatally wounded.

Although his family was not present at the vigil, a 17-year-old boy named Harris, who knew Daniel, spoke on their behalf. He shared that Daniel was a good kid who never got into trouble and was dedicated to his studies and attending church. Harris expressed the family's gratitude for the outpouring of support from the community, including fundraisers and even Daniel's favorite football team, Arsenal.

Daniel's life was tragically cut short on Tuesday when he was attacked by an armed man. The suspect, Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, has been charged with his murder and appeared in court on Thursday. In a statement released by the Metropolitan Police, Daniel's family expressed their devastation and disbelief at the loss of their beloved son.

"It is difficult for us to process what has happened to him and that he will never come home," the statement read. "Our children have lost their loving and precious brother and we have lost the most loved and amazing son."

The family also extended their sympathies to the other victims of the attack and thanked the community for their support during this difficult time. They have asked for privacy and for the media to refrain from contacting them.

Daniel was a passionate Arsenal fan and the club paid tribute to him during their Premier League match against Bournemouth on Saturday. The Emirates Stadium was filled with a moment of applause in the 14th minute, and a banner reading "RIP Daniel" was displayed in the stands.

The senseless attack has shocked and devastated the community, but they have come together to honor and remember Daniel's life. The family has been overwhelmed by the support and love shown by those around them, and they will forever be grateful.
