Jennette Arnold OBE AM, Chair of the London Assembly, said:

“Fourteen years on, we will always remember the 52 people who tragically lost their lives in the 7/7 bombings.

“Their loved ones will always feel the pain of their absence and London shares in their grief.

“Terrorists attempted to break us but they failed. We continue to honour the memory of those whose lives were cut short and every day we unite and grow stronger.

“Terror will never win in this great, diverse and tolerant city.”
