Family seeks sainthood for London Bridge terror attack 'skateboard hero'

The family of the “skateboard hero” of the June 2017 London Bridge terrorist attacks have launched a campaign for him to be recognised as a saint.

Ignacio Echeverría, 39, was one of eight victims of three Islamist terrorists who drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge before they attacked people randomly with knives and machetes in nearby Borough Market.

The Spaniard, who is reportedly the nephew of a missionary bishop, was returning from a skateboard park when he stumbled upon the atrocity and saw one of terrorists repeatedly stabbing a woman.
