Family and friends will gather at Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic Church in Lee, south-east London, to pay tribute to the popular teenager, described by his family as a "gentle giant".

The 6ft 4in committed Christian died after being hit in the neck with broken glass during an attack in the Three Cooks bakery in Lee on Saturday. It was the day after his 16th birthday.

The GCSE student's 26-year-old brother Tommy was with his brother and cradled him as he lay bleeding to death. He was the 13th teenager to be murdered in London so far this year.

A 19-year-old man appeared at Sutton Magistrates' Court on Thursday charged with Jimmy's murder.

Jake Fahri, of Millborough Crescent, Lee, was remanded in custody following his court appearance. He is expected to appear at the Old Bailey on August 21.

Following the midday service at the church where Jimmy served as an altar boy and was baptised, his family is expected to visit the scene for a period of silence, prayer and to lay flowers.

Jimmy's parents Barry, 56, and Margaret, 55, paid loving tribute to their "happy-go-lucky" son following a leavers' Mass outside their son's school, St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive in Eltham, on Monday.

The schoolboy, who lived with his family in Dallinger Road, Lee, had been due to embark on an apprenticeship in the housing department at Southwark Council.

He left behind six brothers and two sisters - Tommy, Joanne, 35, Danny, 30, Billy, 28, Bobby, 24, Samantha, 21, Harry, 18 and George, eight.
