Other faith leaders from the community also spoke at the vigil, including the Bishop of Stepney Rev Adrian Newman, who told the crowd "an attack on one faith is an attack on us all".

The man was initially arrested on suspicion of attempted murder but Scotland Yard said he was later arrested for the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism including murder and attempted murder.

The crowd had been at the nearby Finsbury Park Mosque for Ramadan services.

British health authorities on Tuesday said seven people remained hospitalised. Regulars at his local pub, the Hollybush in Pentwyn, Cardiff, described Osborne being "drunk" on Saturday night.

She said: "I will chair an emergency meeting later this morning". I'm older than him. "This is a complete shock, I thought he was a normal neighbour, laughing and joking".

Police said the attack happened while a man, who later died, was receiving first aid after being taken ill.

His family said he had been "troubled for a long time" but denied he was racist.

"It is a reminder that terrorism, extremism and hatred take many forms and our determination to tackle them must be the same, whoever is responsible", she said.

The driver was grabbed at the scene by locals and pinned down until police arrived.

"(The imam's) bravery and courage helped calm the immediate situation after the incident and prevented further injuries and potential loss of life", he said.

Five residents identified images of the man being arrested as their neighbour, Osborne, who according to reports is originally from Somerset. "I feel scared", Mohamed said.

She then followed with: "When I read about clashes around the world".
