Damilola Taylor's father 'still bears the pain of his death'

The father of Damilola Taylor has told the BBC he still bears the pain of his 10-year-old son's death.

It is 20 years since Damilola was stabbed by two other boys in a stairwell in south London - a killing that shocked the nation.

Richard Taylor said his son's death was "something that will remain in my life until I die".

He has now launched a programme called Hope 2020 in Damilola's honour, aimed at providing opportunities for young people.
