Neighbours have paid tribute to the 75-year-old man who died because of injuries he received in the terrorist attack in Westminster.

Leslie Rhodes, from Macaulay Road in Clapham south London, was hit by a car.

Mr Rhodes, a retired window cleaner, had been receiving medical treatment in hospital after the attack but life support was withdrawn on Thursday, March 23.

It took the victim toll to four. The attacker Khalid Masood was shot dead at the scene.

Neighbours described the 75-year-old as a "lovely man" who had been as "fit as a fiddle". 

Philip Williams, 61, said: "We'd known him for 24 years.

"He was a lovely man. He would do anything for anybody.

"And it's such a shock."

Mr Williams said the pensioner was not married and had no children. 

He added: "You know, it's a crime that he's been taken."

He had been told by neighbours who went to see him before he died that Mr Rhodes was attending the hospital and may have been coming from or going to a bus stop nearby when he was hit.

He said: "I've been told he was at the hospital, St Thomas', and he went by public transport and he was apparently crossing the bridge when this car hit him.

"As I say, I've been told he was hit in the midriff. He had many broken bones. Apparently he went into a coma straight away."

Michael Carney, who knew Mr Rhodes for around 40 years, had kept a bedside vigil at King's College Hospital.

Mr Carney, 74, said: "My wife and my two girls went up there and were with him until he died, playing him music. He liked Queen and that."

He said he could not make any sense of what happened.

Mr Carney added: "What harm did he ever do to anyone? He was the nicest man you ever met."
