Terror victims remembered on fifth anniversary

The attacks by Islamic extremists from West Yorkshire on London Underground trains and a bus in Tavistock Square left 52 innocent people dead and more than 700 injured.

No official events were planned – a decision which upset some families – although wreaths were laid on behalf of Prime Minister David Cameron and London Mayor Boris Johnson at the Hyde Park memorial to the victims.

Meanwhile, leaders from the Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Sikh and Muslim faiths attended the launch of a Communities Preventing Hate campaign in north London and declared there was "no place in a harmonious society for factions who aim to divide and undermine".

In Yorkshire, the father of Tavistock Square bus bomber Hasib Hussain sat quietly at the side of his unmarked grave in Cottingley, sitting on a wooden chair to read the Koran.
