Last Thursday, in the wake of the London bombings, every West End theatre was dark for the first time since the second world war. Respect and practicality meant that most of the capital's other arts events that night were cancelled.
Since then, artistic life has been returning to something like normal, but last week's atrocities have not been forgotten.
A number of arts events this weekend will be remembering the victims.
Tonight at the Royal Albert Hall, the first night of this year's Proms will be dedicated to the victims of the terror attacks. The revamped Queen concert in Hyde Park (featuring Paul Rodgers of Free on vocals), meanwhile, is giving away tickets to London emergency services staff as a thank you for their work in the aftermath of the bombings.
On Saturday, London United - a hastily rebranded Rise anti-racism festival - takes place in Burgess Park in south London.
With the appalling events still fresh in most Londoners' minds, there will no doubt be other tributes paid at events across the arts spectrum: news of any others is gratefully received.
