Tributes to Mikaeel Kular left outside his home in Edinburgh Tributes to Mikaeel Kular have been left outside his home in Edinburgh. Since news broke that a body had been found in Fife, a small memorial has grown in Ferry Gait Crescent. Mikaeel, three, was reported missing by his mother, Rosdeep, on Thursday. She told police she had put him to bed at 9pm on Wednesday and he was not in the flat the following morning. In the early hours of Saturday, Assistant Chief Constable Malcolm Graham told a press conference police had found the body of a young boy they believe to be Mikaeel in Kirkcaldy, Fife. Soon after, members of the community in the Drylaw area of Edinburgh where the toddler lived started to place flowers, toys, candles and messages outside his flat. Throughout the night, the tributes grew and people were still arriving on Saturday morning. One of the messages left for the toddler, alongside a lit candle, read: "We don't know you but you belonged to our community. You are one of us. Always and forever. God love you wee Mikaeel Kular. Another note read: "Rest well Angel." The local community were joined by volunteers from across Scotland to help search for the toddler when he was reported missing. Around 300 people turned up to scour the area surrounding his home on Friday. Local residents association Tenants and Residents in Muirhouse (TRIM) also paid tribute to Mikaeel. Chairman Robert Pearson said "I, like everyone else in North Edinburgh will be saddened to learn that Police have found a the body of a child in the search for Mikaeel. Over the last few days this community, as well as people from all over the country, has come together to search for him. Whilst it can be easy for us to all to jump to conclusions about what has happened we need to remain calm and allow the Police to continue with their investigation. I would like to thank everyone who turned out to help search for Mikaeel, as well as people going out searching I would also like to thank all the companies and businesses that came forward and gave us torches, food and biscuits. Sometime it takes something like this to bring people together, I have seen older people, young people, families and teenagers all given up their time to search the entire area over the past two days. On reflection, I and everyone at TRIM, are so proud of the community we all live in. Obviously as time went on we were all aware that the chances of a positive were diminishing but that never stopped us. People continued to turn at all times of the day and night to help, and everyone who got involved should be so proud of themselves. Tonight at 7pm residents are invited to attend at Muirhouse St Andrews Church at 42 Pennywell Gardens in Edinburgh for a memorial service. Local councillor, Cammy Day, paid tribute both to Mikaeel and his family and to the local community who came together to try and find the toddler. He said: "Although there hasn't been formal confirmation as yet, it's looking increasingly certain that today the community is having to face the outcome that everyone dreaded, namely that Mikaeel has not been found safe and well like we all prayed he would be. This is an absolutely tragic situation and my heart goes out to Mikaeel's friends and loved ones who are now having to come to terms with such devastating news. These past two days have seen an incredible outpouring of community spirit, with hundreds of volunteers giving up their time to join the search for Mikaeel. It was a very moving thing to see the community pull together like that and I know that people will continue to support each other in the days and weeks ahead as we all try to come to terms with this heartbreaking outcome. My thanks to everyone who's played their part throughout this situation, you have all given Edinburgh so much to be proud of. Anne Houston, Chief Executive of charity CHILDREN 1ST also paid tribute to the youngster and offered support to local residents. She said: "Everyone at CHILDREN 1ST is saddened and shocked by the tragic death of three year old Mikaeel Kular. Every time a child dies in terrible circumstances, there are calls for lessons to be learned and for things to be done differently. It's everybody's responsibility to protect children. We should all take a moment to reflect on what that actually means and to think about how we make that a reality for children like Mikaeel Kular. Our charity has longstanding relationships with the communities in Drylaw, Muirhouse and Pilton and would like to help those communities in whatever way we can. "We have 130 years" experience of working to help children and adults to recover from abuse and trauma and have offered a range of services and supports to the co-ordinating agencies involved in this sad situation."
