“My wife Catherine worked with one of the victims who died. Miriam came to our wedding and the beautiful pottery she gave us as a present 25 years ago still sits in our home,” Myrie told the Daily Mirror.
Hyman attended Brookland Junior School as a child, and Copthall School, in Mill Hill, before reading French and art history at University College London.
Following her death, her family founded The Miriam Hyman Memorial Trust in her memory.
In 2008, the trust helped to set up the Miriam Hyman Children’s Eye Care Centre in India, which serves underprivileged youngsters - Hyman herself was slightly short-sighted.
The trust also runs a programme which educates students about extremism.
In 2017 Mavis Hyman said that the pain of losing her daughter never fades.
“She was my child. She was a special girl,” the bereft mother said.
“Miriam managed to squeeze the brightness out of everything. It is very painful that she is gone but that pain is our driving force.”
Myrie, 59, was speaking following the release of his autobiography, Everything is Everything, in which he spoke of his anger at the terrorists' refusal to "buy into" to British values.
“Three of the four killers were British-born, second-generation immigrants like me, with their parents from Pakistan. One moved to the UK when he was only a year old. I felt overwhelming anger towards the four men," Myrie wrote.
"I was angry at the men’s failure to have bought into the idea of a multicultural Britain, their failure as brown people to buy into the values of tolerance and freedom that underpin liberal democracy."
