The family of a 14 12 months old killed in a sword attack in London last month have paid tribute to him after his funeral on Friday.
Daniel Anjorin was killed within the attack within the Hainault area of east London on 30 April as he walked to highschool. Four others were injured within the stabbing rampage, including two cops.
Family and friends gathered for Daniel’s funeral service at Jubilee Church, Ilford, in London on Friday.
The family have attended Jubilee church for a few years and Daniel was baptised there.
An announcement posted to the church’s website on behalf of the family said: “Today, we laid our dear son Daniel to rest knowing that he’s with the Lord, but he might be endlessly missed.
“We extend our deepest appreciation to all who’ve stood by us, sharing in our sorrow and offering solace. Your presence, each on the funeral and in spirit, has been a source of immense comfort.
“With heartfelt thanks, Mr and Mrs Anjorin and family.”
Pastor Tope Koleoso told the BBC the service had been “peaceful”.
“The service today was befitting of Daniel in every way, because he was a mild, spirited and only a peace-loving boy,” he said.
“So the service sort of captured that. It was a mild moment. It was peaceful. And yet it was a celebration of Daniel’s life.”
