Minute's silence to mark Finsbury Park attack anniversary: What you need to know as UK remembers victims

Fiona Simpson19 June 2018

The UK will today fall silent to mark the first anniversary of the Finsbury Park terror attack.

Father-of-six Makram Ali died when Darren Osborne ploughed a rented van into a group of worshippers outside Muslim Welfare House Mosque.

A further 12 people were injured in the attack in the early hours of June 19 last year.

Osborne, 48, was jailed for 43 years for murdering 51-year-old Mr Ali after deliberately driving into the crowd on Seven Sisters Road during Ramadan.
