BRAZEN pals of burglar Henry Vincent were last night preparing to hold a vigil outside the home of the pensioner who stabbed him to death.

The plan for today, on what would have been Vincent’s 38th birthday, was set to attract dozens of “mourners”.

Last week Vincent’s pals and gypsy family, who live on a caravan park in Orpington, Kent, set up a shrine outside the house in Hither Green, South East London.

Richard Osborn-Brooks, 78, who killed screw­driver-wielding Vincent as he raided his home, is living in a safe house.

Former Kray twins hitman Freddie Foreman, 86, has called for Mr Osborn-Brooks to get a bravery award.
