Stephen Lawrence 20th anniversary memorial service held

The mother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence has said her "pain is raw", at a memorial service to mark the 20th anniversary of her son's death.

The 18-year-old aspiring architect was murdered in a racist attack as he waited for a bus in Eltham, south east London, on 22 April 1993.

The memorial service took place at St Martin-in-the-Fields, near Trafalgar Square in central London.

Doreen Lawrence said: "My pain is raw, and that of my children."
