The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “Today we come together to mark the anniversary of the appalling terror attack on our city that took place on this day in 2005. 

“We honour and remember the 52 people who tragically lost their lives and the more than 700 people who were injured in this cowardly act of hatred. We also pay tribute to those who ran towards danger that day, from emergency service personnel to transport workers and extraordinary members of the public who put their own safety at risk to help those in need.

“As Londoners, with each passing year, our determination to stand united only strengthens. As Mayor, I’m committed to continuing to work with communities, partners and the police to tackle the threat of terrorism and ensure that no stone is left unturned in building a safer London for everyone.” Photo by DAVID HOLT from London, England, Wikimedia commons.
