A minute’s silence has been held across the UK as a mark of respect for those affected by the terror attack in London on Saturday night.
The nation gathered in towns and cities to grieve for the dead and think of the injured in the wake of the third such onslaught in three months.
The silence was marked at 11:00 BST.
Seven people were killed and 48 injured, 18 of whom remain in a critical condition.
Hundreds of people stood in the rain at locations across London to pay tribute to the victims of Saturday’s attack.
One of them, Andrea Liddel, who travelled from Kent for the occasion, said: “I thought it was my duty to come here today – to stand where many lost their lives. I’m here for them.”
New Zealand and England cricketers pause during the ICC Champions Trophy match at Sophia Gardens cricket ground in Cardiff.
Margaret Abraham, from Marske-by-the-Sea near Redcar in Cleveland, was one of those to gather in Nottingham, where she is visiting her brother.
“We need to realise that this terrorism is going on all the time all over the world, and we need to not forget that but think about it more. We haven’t got to be afraid, we’ve still got to go about our everyday lives.” Rosey Palmer, from the city said: “I think it’s important that we stand together.
I wasn’t able to be here for the Manchester one, so I felt I had to make more of an effort today.” Bishop James Stapleton, chaplain to the Lord Mayor of Nottingham, said: “To see so many turn out in the rain really shows solidarity with the people of London.
“We just had the same for Manchester, and it was shocking to see what has taken place. We stand together with them in their grief and sorrow.”
Emma Sibley and Karl Hucker observed the silence with their young daughter, in their home city of Southampton .
Ms Sibley they were there “just to remember and pay respect to the families and loved ones. It’s horrible we have to do it, it’s not right, but it’s just out of respect. When you have little ones of your own it makes you think.”
