Britain falls silent in tribute to the victims of 7/7 London bombings 10 years on

A memorial service has been held at St Paul’s Cathedral to remember the 52 people killed in the 7/7 bombings 10 years ago. Some of the 700 people injured in the attacks, relatives of the dead and first-responders joined the Duke of York, the Prime Minister and the Mayor of London at the service. It is one of a series of events taking place across the capital to remember those killed when four bombs blew up three London Underground trains and a double-decker bus on 7 July 2005. The names of the 52 victims were read out at the service before a minute’s silence was held much of across the country and London buses came to a halt.

London had been attacked and our unity was in our grieving.

Earlier, families of the victims joined David Cameron and Boris Johnson as they laid wreaths at the 7/7 memorial in Hyde Park. The wreath-laying ceremony took place at 8.50am - very close to the time the first three explosions went off. On the card attached to his wreath, Mr Cameron wrote: “To the victims of terrorism in London 10 years ago today. We grieve your loss and will honour your memory forever." A second service at the Hyde Park memorial will be attended by the Duke of Cambridge later, featuring music, a series of readings and the laying of flowers.

I was still fighting at that point to become a bit more conscious, I had to do something, I had to move and to let them know I was OK.
