Britons mark 10th anniversary of London transit attacks

Memorial services have been held to remember the 52 people killed in the 7/7 London bombings 10 years ago. Some of the 700 people injured in the attacks, relatives of the dead and first-responders joined the Duke of Cambridge, the Prime Minister and the Mayor of London at the services at St Paul’s Cathedral and in Hyde Park. Four suicide bombers blew up three London Underground trains and a double-decker bus during the morning rush hour on 7 July 2005. The names of the 52 victims were read out at the St Paul’s service before a minute’s silence was held across much of 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.
