Tooting 'united in hope' at vigil for peace outside Tooting Bec Station

Tooting MP Dr Rosena Allin-Khan organised the event which drew people from all faiths and backgrounds together to unite in these difficult times.

At the event, Dr Allin-Khan said: “Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Seicks, Christians, everybody, even if you don’t believe in God, we will stand side by side, happily united.

“The aim of this evening is just standing together to celebrate that and say that absolutely nothing will divide us.”
