Spoken by 11 per cent of people from Hackney, Turkish is the most widely spoken language in the borough after English.

A spokesperson said: “Our duty is to provide a united front against acts of terrorism and to promote mental wellbeing to parts of our society that are increasingly in need of counselling.

“These acts against innocent citizens affects us all. Their reach is beyond borders in what is seemingly a continued campaign of terrorism against people from all cultures.”
