• SUCH shocking news, my thoughts are with Tony Eastlake’s family and friends, (Tony Eastlake: Family pay tribute to Essex Road flower seller after stab murder, May 30).

His smile always lit up the day. I’ve been acquainted with him as a customer for over 30 years.

He used to keep a box of dog treats behind the stall and when it was empty he’d run over the road to buy biscuits for our terrier Oscar when we passed by.

Such a sad loss.
