Hundreds gather to mourn murdered father
By James White
The funeral of a murdered father-of-one has taken place, just a short walk from the spot where he died.
Michael Mann, 43, was stabbed to death on May 2 at a bus stop in Willesden High Road.
Today hundreds of mourners filled St Andrew's Church in the same busy street to pay their last respects to Mr Mann, who was described as a gentleman and a male role model during the service.
Father Scott Anderson paid tribute to Mr Mann, who lived with his girlfriend and six-month-old son Jamalie in Sandringham Road, Willesden.
He told mourners: "This is the man people will remember with respect because he has made life better during his time in the world.
"It is right that we should pray for justice for him."
