THE girlfriend of the cyclist who was killed on Wednesday after colliding with an Olympic bus has paid tribute to her 'boo'.

Cecilia Dominici, a social media manager for MediaCom, took to social media site Twitter today and said: "My silly english boy, the love of my life, my boo. I don't know how to live without you."

The couple had moved in together, in a flat in Wanstead at the end of February.

Daniel Harris, 28, was killed on Wednesday after colliding with an Olympic double-decker coach at the junction of Ruckholt Road and the A12 on Wednesday.

He was pronounced dead at the scene at 8.14pm.

Mr Harris was a pupil at Ilford County High in Fremantle Road, Barkingside, before going to the University of Plymouth to study Ocean Science.

A 65-year-old coach driver was arrested at the scene, but was later released on bail pending further enquiries.

A cycle ride in his memory is planned for August 10.

A post-mortem is due to take place today.

Anyone with information on the collision should call the Met's Road Death Investigation Unit on 020 8597 4874.
