The mother of a teenage altar boy who was stabbed to death has spoken of the family's pain at their loss.
Jimmy Mizen, who had turned 16 just the day before, was attacked by a man in a bakers shop in Lee, South East London, on Saturday.
She told BBC Radio Five Live that the family "didn't know whether they were coming or going".
"It's all so unreal - shock, horror, pain, joy if that sounds really silly... we just keep thinking about Jimmy and laughing.
"We've got so much joy about Jimmy.
"We had him for 16 years and he brought joy every day of his life."
A mass held at his school, St Thomas Moore RC Secondary, was dedicated to him.
Speaking after the mass, Mrs Mizen, 55, said she had no anger towards his murderer but felt sorry for the killer's family.
"They held that boy on their arms as a baby, what can I say?
"They must be in pain. It's so painful to know that your child has been so cruel, so wicked. So I say to them my prayers are with you.
"I can't feel anger. There is too much anger is this world. It is anger that killed my son.
"Jimmy's legacy should be a legacy of love."
