Finbar Sullivan Vigil: Community Mourns Filmmaking Student

0:00On April 27, hundreds gathered in Primrose Hill for a visual honoring 21-year-old Finn Bar Sullivan, a filmmaking student stabbed to death. They're on April 7, friends, family, and big names from music showed up to remember him, turning the park into a place of tribute, with candles, flowers, and photos at the Kigats. Sugs for madness led the crowd in singing, it must be love, while balloons float its skyward. Stars like Paul Weller, Kevin Roland from Dex's Midnight Runners, Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream, and Glenn Matlock from the Sex Pistols joined in. They play Finn's favorite songs and held a minute of silence. Finn, known as Finn to his crew, studied at the London Screen Academy. He'd headed to the hill that evening to test a new birthday camera, chasing dreams like his grandfather, cameraman Michael Sarasin, who shot Harry, Potter and the Prisoner of Ask a Van, plus Rambo 3. His dad, club legend Chris Sullivan, who started the Wag Club, said Finn had just wrapped a film with Vivian Westwood's son, Joe Kor.

1:02Chris spoke raw after the vigil, calling it the worst tragedy imaginable for his only son, born when he was 45. He praised the mix of people uniting in love and peace as Finn's true legacy, though the pain feels like losing both legs, always there, never easy. Three men in their mid-20s, face murder charges, earn his boating, Alex's bides, and Oliwata Milalola Oganyankanu. In 18-year-old, Khalid Abdul Qadir got hit with grievous bodily harm, violent disorder, and knife possession tied to the fight. The community's still healing from this loss.
