Funeral held for murdered Jimmy | Funeral held for murdered Jimmy |
(about 6 hours later) | |
Hundreds of mourners have attended the funeral of schoolboy Jimmy Mizen in south-east London. | |
Jimmy, 16, bled to death when he suffered a neck injury in an attack at Three Cooks bakery in Lee, south-east London, on 10 May. | |
He was killed 500m from his home a day after his birthday. | |
The hearse passed the bakery, with his parents following behind. His brothers led the procession carrying a picture of the altar boy. | |
Jimmy's eight-year-old brother, George, who carried the picture, had "Jimbo" written on his arm. | |
A T-shirt was wrapped over the coffin with the words "Jimmy M Team" written on it. | |
Jimmy's friends from his school in Eltham knotted their school ties around a makeshift shrine while family members left flower tributes and balloons at the spot. | |
Jimmy taught us all to let anger and hate go, look deep in your heart and the love will flow Family tribute | |
Five of Jimmy's brothers carried the coffin into the Our Lady of Lourdes church in Lee. | |
Jimmy's friends formed a guard of honour. | |
The service is being followed by the burial at nearby Grove Park Cemetery. | |
Family and friend had said the funeral should be a celebration of Jimmy's life and they wore brightly-coloured clothes and listened to his favourite songs. | |
Jimmy's mother, Margaret Mizen, 55, read a eulogy at the service. | |
A tribute from the family on the order of service read: "God sent them Jimmy with a mission in mind to show the world love and leave all the anger behind. | |
"With a smile so special, so gentle, so kind, an angel of immaculate character beautiful inside. | |
"Jimmy taught us all to let anger and hate go, look deep in your heart and the love will flow. | |
"Now look up at heaven, at the sky at night, you will see a star shining ever so bright, that is Jimmy... our gentle giant." | |
