‘How dare they celebrate her death! They’re sick!’ Mike, 63, who ‘haha’ reacts on Facebook every time there’s a story about a child or adult drowning in The Channel after falling out of a small boat.
Today, I laid a wreath in Hyde Park to honour the 52 innocent people killed on 7 July 2005.
We honour those injured, the families who carry the loss, and the heroic emergency responders who ran towards danger that day.
London remembers. You will never be forgotten.
Today, we remember the 52 innocent people whose lives were stolen in the 7 July terrorist attacks. We also remember those who were injured, their families and friends, and the heroic emergency service personnel who ran towards danger that day.
21 years on, we reflect on the resilience our city showed in the face of unimaginable tragedy. London remains strong, resilient and united. We must never allow hatred to win.
London will always stand together against those who seek to divide us or peddle extremism. We will always choose hope over fear, unity over division, and we will continue working together to build a safer, stronger London for everyone.
