Former The Apprentice candidate Nurun Ahmed handed over the money to the widow of Ali Qasemi this week. Mr Qasemi (45), a father of two with a third child on the way, died following the attack as he delivered pizzas on May 8.

Nurun set up a fundraising campaign on line, and handed over the cheque for £3,304 this week. She said: “This campaign showed community solidarity. She was overwhelmed with the generosity shown by all and very thankful. Only when we unite we can walk forward by making a positive difference. We are stronger when we work together not against one another. A hearty thank you to all those who supported me in this campaign.”
