The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said:
“Three years have passed since the appalling terrorist attack at London Bridge, and today as a city we remember the victims, their families and the emergency services and first responders who ran towards danger without a second thought.
“My thoughts are with the families and friends who lost loved ones in this awful attack, and who are having to adjust to grieving in very different and difficult circumstances this year.
“The cowardly terrorists who commit these dreadful acts do so to try and divide us, and to change how we treat one another. But we should be proud of the way our city has responded – time and time again – by remaining united. Londoners will always see our diversity as one of our greatest strengths, and we will continue to honour the innocent victims by staying true to the values that bind us together.”
