London Bridge: Capital to pay tribute to emergency services and victims of the terror attack

A vigil is due to take place to pay tribute to the victims of the London Bridge terror attack that happened on Friday.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan will be amongst those who will gather on Monday morning at 11am to honour the emergency services and members of the public who responded to the incident.

The service at Guildhall Yard will also remember the two former Cambridge students, Jack Merritt, 25, and Saskia Jones, 23, who were killed.

A book of condolence will be opened at Guildhall Art Gallery and members of the public will also be able to lay flowers at Walbrook outside Mansion House.

Mr Khan said: “I am proud to be joining Londoners from across our city to honour and remember those who were killed and injured in this vile terrorist attack.

“We will stand together to send a powerful message across the world that those who seek to attack and divide our city will never succeed.

“Like many, I will never forget the bravery of ordinary Londoners and the emergency services who risked their own lives to save others. They are the best of us.

“Our city – the greatest city in the world – will continue to stand united and resolute against terror.”

The City of London Corporation said that it was still uncertain whether London Bridge would be re-opened on Monday morning and advised workers and residents to find alternative travel routes where possible.

Areas that will be affected include the north section of Fish Street up to Eastcheap, and Swan Lane, which is closed closed between lower Thames Street and the river.

Pedestrian zones near Monument and parts of the Thames path will also be affected.
