Flowers have been laid in memory of the 52 people killed in the 7 July bombings – 10 years to the hour since suicide bombers began the attacks.

Prime Minister David Cameron and London Mayor Boris Johnson were among those who laid wreaths in Hyde Park.

A service will take place at St Paul’s Cathedral later, attended by survivors and families of those who died.

A minute’s silence will be held during the service and on London’s transport network at 11:30 BST.

The bombings of three Tube trains and a bus – carried out by four bombers linked to al-Qaeda and carrying rucksacks of explosives – was the worst single terrorist atrocity on British soil.
