Today is the 19th anniversary of the bomb left outside Iceland in Brixton by neo-nazi David Copeland, who killed three people and injured more than 100 in three attacks – in Brixton, Brick Lane and Soho. His targets were members of ethnic minorities and gay and lesbian people.
Some 49 people were injured in Brixton, many of them seriously, by a bomb packed with large nails and powered by firework explosives.
The anti-hate charity 17-24-30, founded in 2009 to mark the tenth anniversary of the bombings, is organising an event at Iceland at 6pm today (17 April) as well as a social media “thunderclap”.
