On 28 January, people gathered at Southwark Cathedral for a brief ceremony in memory of Derek Bentley, who was hanged in Wandsworth prison in 1953, exactly 70 years earlier.Bentley was the 19-year-old who was controversially sentenced to death after his 16-year-old friend, Chris Craig, shot PC Sidney Miles dead during an attempted burglary in Croydon.
