Today, prosecutors said Darren Osborne (47) has been charged following the incident.

In a statement, the Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson said: "Today, the CPS authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Darren Osborne with terrorism-related murder and attempted murder following the incident in Finsbury Park.

"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Mr Osborne are live and that he has a right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice ongoing proceedings," the statement adds.

Mr Osborne is due to appear in court today in relation to the charges.
