His Mother Baroness Lawrence said Stephen's story remained " as important and relevant as ever".

" Their dignified fight for justice, conducted in the pressure of The Public eye with unwavering determination over so many years, continues to be a source of inspiration for us and so many.
" On behalf of the Metropolitan Police , I apologise again for our past failings which will have made the grief of losing a loved one all the more difficult to endure.
" We have let black communities down.
" They feel over policed and under protected. We Are still not sufficiently representative of London, black officers and staff still face discrimination and are not always sufficiently supported to progress within The Met .
" There are disproportionalities and systemic biases in our use of policing tactics and our support to victims of crime.
" We Are deeply sorry for these failings. "
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: " I continue to be inspired Every Day by Baroness Doreen Lawrence , the Lawrence family and so many others who have campaigned for decades for justice and a fairer society following Stephen's murder. "
