To mark one year since the 7/7 2005 terrorist bombings, a memorial service for the victims of London will be held in the City on Friday 7 July, 2006.
While the service will be held at St Botolph’s Church, Aldgate in the City of London at 1 pm, prayers will be said in Regent’s Park, St Paul’s Cathedral and St Pancras Church, close to Tavistock Square, the site of the bus blast. The day will be a time of silence and services.
There will be 6,000 extra policemen, mostly armed, on the streets and in Tube trains to “provide reassurance”.
Last November, the Queen had led a national memorial service dedicated to the victims at St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
Bereaved families and survivors of the four blasts were also joined in tribute by Prime Minister Tony Blair.
