School ties hung at Jimmy tribute site

SCHOOL ties and uniforms have been hung outside the Three Cooks bakery in Lee where teenager Jimmy Mizen was murdered.

Jimmy, 16, was killed in an unprovoked attack outside the bakery, at the junction of Burnt Ash Hill and Woodyates Road, near where he lived in Lee on May 10.

Flowers, letters of condolence, a guitar and now school ties and uniforms have been left in tribute to Jimmy at the junction.

Jimmy was a pupil at St Thomas More School, in Footscray Road, Eltham, and was studying for his GCSE examinations, the results of which were released last Thursday.

His family are currently raising money to provide a minibus, called the Jimmybus, for his school, the elderly, and Lewisham North Scouts group.

The death of young Jimmy was very sad but I think it's time these "tributes" were removed. The parents of the lad stabbed in Sidcup a few days later requested that the tributes left to him be removed after a short while - why can't the same happen here? Remember Jimmy by all means (and I think the idea of the mini bus is a great one) but can the rest of us not now move on?
