The 20th anniversary of the July 7 bombings was commemorated at St Paul's Cathedral, attended by the Prime Minister, the Mayor of London, and other dignitaries. The attacks in 2005 resulted in 52 deaths and numerous injuries, marking the worst terrorist incident in British history. The ceremony included the reading of victims' names by survivors, with emotional tributes. Wreaths were laid at the Hyde Park memorial, reflecting a commitment to peace and remembrance. This event aimed to honor the memory of those lost and acknowledge the courage of responders and survivors.
"We gather in this Cathedral Church to mark the solemn anniversary of an act of terror inflicted on our city on this day 20 years ago. Together with friends from many other regions and nations, we continue to commemorate a moment in time that left deep scars in the soul of our capital."
"Ms Edwards' voice cracked as she started reading the names of those who died, and when she got to her mother Behnaz Mozakka's name, she began to sob and had to briefly pause."
