A vigil for a flower seller stabbed to death

A vigil was held in north London last night for a much loved flower seller who was stabbed to death close to his store on Saturday.

Described as the flower mound of Islington, Tony Eastlake was a well known face in his local community, having sold flowers in the same area for 40 years.

ast night, dozens gathered to pay their respects to who they call the loveliest man to ever sell them flowers. Tony Eastlakes started selling flowers more than 40 years ago at his stall in Islington, now is covered in messages from friends and family after he was fatally stabbed on Saturday afternoon. 

Some of the the vigil attendance testifies: ''He was just a fabulous local fixture. I buy my Christmas wreath from over here, a really nice, warm, friendly guy.''

''Walk by him virtually every day and just very, very sad because it was a nice place to get some flowers and very sad to lose somebody like that so tragically and so unnecessarily.''

Mr Eslake was found dead on Saturday, just a short walk away from where his stall is. And witnesses say he was involved in an altercation with another man just before he was stabbed. Now, in a statement, his family have said, our hearts are broken forever at the loss of such a very special man. 

We ask you now for your support in helping us to find the person or people who did this to our family, who took away a life so violently and unnecessarily. 

While the murder investigation continues, police are urging anyone who might know what happened on the day Tony Eastley died to come forward.
