Where is the funeral?
Daniel’s funeral service will be held at Jubilee Church in Ilford this morning.
Pastor Tope Koeoso previously told the congregation what had happened was ‘tragic and unimaginable’.
He said the family have been members of the church for more than 15 years and that Daniel was baptised there so ‘whatever touches them, touches us all’.
“This has hit all of us,” he said, during a service held on the day of Daniel’s vigil.
Pastor Koeoso also said pastors had been supporting the family from the early moments of when the attack happened.
“One of the first people his brother called was the youth leader who immediately went to him to give emotional and spiritual support,” he said.
“I know the family would want to say thanks to the police for the sensitive way they’ve cared for the family and protected them,” he said, adding: “Although our hearts are heavy and the pain is deep, our faith is strong.”
