“Alexandre was a marvellous son, a perfect older brother and a radiant young man much loved by all who had the good fortune to meet him. All his friends praised his kindness, his good humour and his generosity,” Pigeard’s family said in a statement.
According to his family, the 26-year-old was passionate about electronic music and a member of “Club 808”, a group of DJs based in Caen (Calvados).
Specially trained family liaison officers are supporting his family.
Eight people were killed and 48 were injured, including four unarmed police officers, after three men drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge. Wielding knives, the men then left the van and went to the nearby Borough Market area, where they stabbed people in and around restaurants and pubs.
