London's response

I'm in awe of London's emergency services - the more I read about yesterday's events, the more proud I am of them.

I'm also so very proud of the way the general public came to the aid of those in need. This is clearly an emotional response on my part, but spontaneous acts of kindness and compassion such as these bring light to dark events.

Tom Reynolds has posted some comments from an unofficial LAS message board which is interesting reading - go take a look.

I've had a wander to my local shops today and life goes on. There were people jumping on buses and getting on the tube. I cannot even put into words my thoughts on those who witnessed and experienced some horrific scenes yesterday. My heart goes out to anyone affected. I think the best way we can honour those who were injured and killed is to carry on. Easier said than done for me as I already find travelling on the tube a claustrophobic experience, but we must demonstrate that Britain is proud of our way of life and will not change it.
