The sister of a boy who was stabbed while cycling through north London has spoken of the "joys" that her brother brought to the world.
Sherry, the sister of 15-year-old Alan Cartwright, told Sky News that her family had been deeply affected by his death.
Alan had been riding with friends in Islington when they were attacked by a gang.
The youngster received one stab wound and managed to continue riding for a short while along the road before collapsing.
Emergency services attended but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Cherrie, who was one of dozens of people attending a vigil for her brother on Saturday night, said: "It's deeply affected all of us.
"From what we've been told we know little about how it's happened and everything. There's not really much I can say about it.
"He was every sort of personality you can think of, really, all wrapped in one. He had his moments, but he beat them with his laughter and his jokes and joys.
"Everyone here is showing their support for us. We are all here, celebrating [his life]. It still hasn't really hit me."

CCTV footage has emerged appearing to show the three teenage girls who are thought to have joined Islamic State in Syria.
Three girls - believed to be Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and 15-year-old Amira Abase - are seen at a bus station in Istanbul in the footage, which was shown on the Turkish television channel A Haber.
The girls are seen wrapped up in heavy winter jackets, two with hoods pulled up, and carrying packed sports bags and holdalls.

The footage was recorded in the early hours of 18 February, less than 24 hours after the trio left their homes in east London, telling their families they would be out for the day.
They then boarded a flight to Turkey from Gatwick, and are since believed to have crossed the Turkish border into Syria.

Four police officers have been attacked and injured at an illegal rave in Swindon.
Wiltshire Police officers were pelted with missiles at an empty unit on the River Ray industrial estate in Rodbourne on Sunday.
Hundreds of ravers were involved in the stand-off.
Two officers suffered head injuries when they were hit by objects including a brick.
Two others, including a dog handler, were also injured and treated for minor injuries.
At least five people were arrested for public order offences.
Superintendent Andrew Carr said: "This rave was illegal and therefore there are no guarantees that location is safe or that the amount of people who attend are properly managed.
"It is very disappointing that members of the public became hostile to officers and began to throw missiles and damage fences and property. Sadly, four officers have been injured and there were other minor injuries."
Roads around the industrial estate were cordoned off while officers dealt with the rave.

Video:Becky Watts Search Intensifies
Police are intensifying their search for missing 16-year-old Becky Watts as a laptop found in woods was revealed not to be hers.
Six specialist teams with officers from four counties are now searching locations within a 1.6-mile radius of her Bristol home - as well as sites surrounding the city.
Forensic teams are searching a house in the Southmead area, while a dog unit and a police helicopter are due to be used on Monday.
Becky had her laptop, her phone and her tablet computer with her when she left her house in the St George area on 19 February.
She is said to have left without telling friends or family and did not take any spare clothes.

It had been hoped that the discovery of the laptop in woodland, not far from her home, could be a breakthrough in the case - but it has now been discounted.
Police are continuing to question two people in connection with Becky's disappearance but have said they cannot release any information about them at this time.
It came as the Bristol Post reported that a large drum-like object was seen being removed from Becky's home by police.
Friends and family who found the laptop on Saturday said they were planning a new search on Tuesday.
More than 100 people turned out for a search of Vassals Park on Saturday, and members of the teenager's family said they were "overwhelmed" by the support.
Officers, however, said that while the public's help had been "incredible", they requested that any further searches were coordinated through force headquarters.
A police source told Sky News the "investigation has moved on to a very sensitive stage".
The leading officer in the case, Detective Superintendent Liz Tunks, said: "Firstly, I would like to reiterate my message yesterday that our search for Becky continues unabated and we are using all available resources to find her.
"Secondly, I would like to extend my thanks to the local communities in St George and the wider Bristol area who have assisted with our search efforts so far.
"The sheer number of people who have shown support during the public searches has been incredible. I would ask that all planned public searches are coordinated through us so they dovetail with the extensive search operation we have been running."
Becky's father and step-mum, Darren and Angie-Mae Galsworthy, have released a statement saying they are preparing "for the worst".
Her father earlier suggested on Facebook that he fears his daughter may have been attacked, appealing for anyone who has washed blood from a relative's clothes to get in touch with police.
The teenager, described as shy, was reported missing by her family at 4pm on 20 February.
Anyone with information about Becky is asked to contact police on 101, quoting MP 591/15, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Video:Search For Missing Teen Continues
Two people have been arrested in connection with the disappearance of 16-year-old Becky Watts in Bristol, Avon and Somerset Police have said.
The arrests follow the discovery of a discarded laptop in woodland close to where the missing teen was last seen over a week ago.
The grey Toshiba, uncovered by volunteers who joined over 100 friends and family scouring the area, has been handed to investigators.
Announcing the arrests, Detective Superintendent Liz Tunks urged anyone with information relating to Becky's disappearance to come forward.
Becky was last seen on 19 February
"Whilst the two people are being questioned our search for Becky continues unabated," she said.
"I would like to appeal once again for anyone who might have information about her whereabouts, or anything else that might help us to find her, to call us."

Becky was last seen at her home in Crown Hill, in the St George area of the city, on 19 February.
Police said she took her phone, laptop and tablet computer, but did not tell her friends or family where she was going, or take extra clothes.
Becky's father and step-mum Darren and Angie-Mae Galsworthy have released a statement saying they are preparing "for the worst".
"The police have told us today that two people have been arrested in connection with the disappearance of Becky," it said.
"Rebecca has still not been found.
"We continue to hope that she will be found safe and unharmed but we will prepare ourselves for the worst.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has assisted in the search for Becky and for the messages of support.
"We continue to work with the police to bring their investigation to a successful conclusion and we would like to ask members of the public to continue to report anything, however small, if they think it may help to find Becky."
Her father has previously suggested on his Facebook page he fears his daughter may have been attacked.
He appealed to any wives or girlfriends who have washed any blood from their loved ones' clothes that cannot be explained to get in touch with police.
The teenager, described as shy, was reported missing by her family at 4pm on February 20.
The detective leading the hunt has said Rebecca's disappearance was "totally out of character".
Detective Inspector Richard Ocone said: "She has not taken anything that would suggest she was going to stay away for a long period of time."
Police divers have searched a lake in St George's Park, close to the youngster's home.
Dogs and mounted officers have been involved in the hunt and officers from neighbouring force areas have also been drafted in to help.
Becky's grandparents, John Galsworthy and Patt Watts were among those taking part in Saturday's search.
Her grandmother told Sky News: "Everybody needs to feel they are doing something to bring her home.
"We're totally behind Darren and Angie (Becky's father and step-mum).
"It's our way of being their eyes, their ears, their feet... They can't see how many people are looking for their daughter."
Meanwhile a social media campaign using the hashtag #FindBecky launched earlier this week has gathered momentum.
Becky is described as 5ft 4in and slim, with long, bright red hair and was wearing a dark navy blue Puffa jacket with fabric sleeves.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Avon and Somerset Police on 101, quoting MP 591/15, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Four police officers have been attacked and injured at an illegal rave in Swindon.
Wiltshire Police officers were pelted with missiles at an empty unit on the River Ray industrial estate in Rodbourne on Sunday.
Hundreds of ravers were involved in the stand-off.
Two officers suffered head injuries when they were hit by objects including a brick.
Two others, including a dog handler, were also injured and treated for minor injuries.
At least five people were arrested for public order offences.
Superintendent Andrew Carr said: "This rave was illegal and therefore there are no guarantees that location is safe or that the amount of people who attend are properly managed.
"It is very disappointing that members of the public became hostile to officers and began to throw missiles and damage fences and property. Sadly, four officers have been injured and there were other minor injuries."
Roads around the industrial estate were cordoned off while officers dealt with the rave.
