Tributes to stab victimTributes were being paid to the teenage brother of a TV soap star who died after being stabbed in a row with youths.
Ben Kinsella, 16, brother of former EastEnders actress Brooke Kinsella, was knifed in a north London street at around 2am on Sunday and died later in hospital.
Miss Kinsella, 24, best known for playing Kelly Taylor in the BBC soap opera, is expected to make a personal statement.
The actress, her parents, Debbie and George, and her boyfriend, former EastEnders actor Ray Panthaki, were among more than 50 people who paid their respects at the scene in York Way, Islington. Former Birds Of A Feather actress Linda Robson also laid flowers.
Scotland Yard said it is believed Ben was stabbed during a row with a group of youths. Two 16-year-old boys arrested in connection with the investigation have been bailed to return to a north London police station on a date in late August.
A makeshift shrine set up near the spot where Ben died is covered with more than 100 bouquets, balloons, an Arsenal scarf, and an England flag.
Among the young people paying tribute to Ben were EastEnders stars Joe Swash, who plays Mickey Miller, and Charlie Hawkins, who plays Darren Miller, his half-brother in the show.
Tributes to Ben have been left on different social networking sites including Facebook and MySpace.
Ben is the 17th teenager to die as a result of violence in London this year and the 12th teenager to be stabbed in the capital since the start of the year.
Ben is thought to have been at a party in a nearby pub, Shillibeers in North Road, before he was stabbed.
This sort of crime is becoming a regular occurance these days.I don't know what can be done to stop it,but something has to be done and done PDQ

It's not the laws that need tightening up, it's the idiotic sentences imposed by idiotic judges who are so far out of touch that they might as well be living on a different planet.
