Police today arrested a 20-year-old man on suspicion of murder after a flower seller was stabbed to death near his north London stall over the Bank Holiday weekend. It comes after a vigil held yesterday for the 55-year-old 'flower man of Islington' saw loud applause break out in his honour. 'This is for Tony Eastlake - the loveliest man who could sell you a bunch of flowers.' Mr Graber led a chorus of 'there's only one Tony Eastlake' before the crowd released blue balloons into the warm evening sky. Ms Tunstall said officers were particularly keen to hear from people living in the houses and flats between Ecclesbourne Road, Halliford Road and Essex Road who may have private CCTV.
