Hundreds attend emotional Cambridge vigil for Jason Arday
Floral tributes have been left in Cambridge in memory of Jason Arday
More than 200 people have attended an emotional vigil in Cambridge to remember the life of Jason Arday.
The former Cambridge professor was found dead at an address in Battersea, south London, on Friday afternoon.
Arday, 41, resigned as a professor of sociology of education after allegations of plagiarism and questions about some of his achievements. He had denied the claims, and his family have since said the "campaign of misinformation" was too much for him.
Shahnaaz Khan, a PhD student at the Faculty of Education, said: "Look around you today, talk to someone you don't know and hold their pain with yours."

The vigil was organised by Arday's postdoctoral students and was held on Sunday afternoon.
Kahn added: "Hold your friends close and know that we stand strong because we stand together.
"Now, there is a time for anger, of justifiable anger, and that time will come - but today is not that day.
"Today is about celebrating the life of a brilliant man, Professor Jason Arday.
