7.7.05

4 years ago today the 7/7 London bombings took place on London’s public transport system during rush hour in the morning.

The 4 British Muslim suicide bombers killed 52 people and injured 700.

Take a moment today to remember those who lost their lives and give thought to their friends and family.

To coincide with the fourth anniversary of the bombings, a special memorial in Hyde Park will be officially unveiled today. The memorial consists of 52 stainless steel pillars – one for each victim – and the pillars are grouped into four clusters, to symbolise the four locations of the attacks: Tavistock Square, Edgware Road, Kings Cross and Aldgate.
