Ms Osamor, who works at Haringey Law Centre, in Tottenham, said: "I knew Mark Duggan when he was a little boy. So little has changed over the years.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed their game against Crystal Palace will go ahead despite a clash with the planned vigil, which is being held just an hour before Spurs host Palace in a London derby.
Given that the station is less than a mile from White Hart Lane, fears were raised about fans' security, despite the organisers' insistence the vigil will be peaceful.
But on Friday afternoon Tottenham allayed fears the game would be called off or postponed, posting on Twitter: "Contrary to reports there are no plans to call off tomorrow's game v Palace with the Duggan vigil scheduled for 2pm in Tottenham."
