Commemorating the 15th anniversary of the July 7 bombings, Mayor of London paid tribute to the 52 people who had died in the terror attack. Sadiq Khan said,
“Our capital will never forget the terrible events of that day, and my thoughts are with all those whose lives were changed forever. As we mark 15 years since the attack on our city, I want again to pay tribute to the heroic efforts of our emergency services and transport workers, who ran towards danger to save lives, on that awful day.
“The way that our city responded and stood united in the aftermath of the attack showed the world that our values of decency, tolerance and mutual respect will always overcome the hate of the terrorists.
“Today, we reaffirm our commitment to upholding these values. To those who wish to divide us and spread hatred, we send a clear message that they will never succeed, and that we are stronger together.”
On 7th July 2005, a series of co-ordinated explosions hit three London Underground trains and a double-decker bus killing 52 and injuring over 700 people.
