Seven people have been arrested at six addresses across the UK as police continue to investigate an attack in Westminster that left four people dead, including the attacker and a police officer.
Around 40 people were injured when the assailant drove a car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, before crashing it outside parliament and attempting to enter the building.
Tributes have been paid across Westminster for the victims, where a minute’s silence was held by MPs in parliament as well as outside New Scotland Yard. Speaking in the House of Commons, Theresa May said the attack was one on free people everywhere.

London mayor Sadiq Khan openly invited all Londoners and visitors to attend a candle-lit vigil which will be held in Trafalgar Square from 6pm on Thursday evening.
“The Mayor is asking everyone to come together in solidarity to remember those who have lost their lives, to express sympathy with their families and loved ones and to show the world that we are more committed than ever to the values that we hold dear – that we remain united and open,” said a statement from City Hall.
“London is the greatest city in the world. We will never be cowed by terrorism. We stand together, in the face of those who seek to harm us and destroy our way of life. We always have, and we always will.”
