One minute of silence was observed across The United Kingdom in order to remember the 52 lives lost in the London bombings on the 10th anniversary of the dreadful attacks that took place on the city’s transport network. The incident took place on July 7, 2005.
St Paul’s Cathedral is hosting a service for the victims’ families, survivors and members of the emergency services caught up in the bombings. The audience in the gathering sang hymns before the names of those killed in the attacks were read out. Whereas on the other hand, prime minister David Cameron and London mayor Boris Johnson joined relatives of the victims, survivors and other senior politicians in a wreath-laying ceremony at the 7/7 memorial at Hyde Park. Prime Minister David Cameron laid a floral tribute in the park at 8.50am (1750 AEST), the time the first of four bombs was detonated on the city’s transport system on July 7, 2005 by homegrown jihadists.
In a statement issued by PM Cameron, he stated that “today the country comes together to remember the victims of one of the deadliest terrorist atrocities on mainland Britain” adding that “ten years on from the 7/7 London attacks, the threat from terrorism continues to be as real as it is deadly — the murder of 30 innocent Britons whilst holidaying in Tunisia is a brutal reminder of that fact.” Cameron pointed out that “we will never be cowed by terrorism.” Later, another service will be held at the memorial site for survivors and relatives which Prince William will attend.
