The London Bombings 1st Anniversary.

I was heading into the West End along Edgware Road when the radio was full of reports of what was first thought of as some kind of mechanical explosion on the underground tube network. Within the next hour reports from the police became clearer, especially after the bus at Tavistock Square exploded. My mobile phone started to receive calls from my office, family and friends asking if i was ok. I was lucky enough to be able to turn the car around and head right out of the area and spent the evening watching Sky News as the carnage unrolled.
The following week was full of stories of imense bravery and courage as people told their stories.
I was at work when two minutes silence was observed one week later. This emotional time will always be remembered by me because the traffic stopping in Regent Street, bus drivers and the passengers standing with all the shop and office staff out on the pavement, in silence. At this time I thought that these people who lost their lives or badly injured, were just going to work to do what we all do, to earn the money, to pay the bills ,to aim for a better life.
One year on, I guess that London will never be the same. The sense of being under attack will haunt all of us, but we will remember the people who saved life as well as those that had fallen.
