King and PM lead remembrance of London bombings

While King Charles called for “extraordinary courage and compassion” against the horror of the July 7 London bombings, the British Prime Minister said the Prime Minister would unite to remember the lost lives of the country.

In a message to mark the 20th anniversary of the attacks, Charles said that comfort can be taken from the “spirit of unity” in London and the country, which allows the country to heal.

In the meantime, Sir Keir Starmer said, “Those who tried to divide us have failed,” he said, “Then we stopped together and we stand together now.”

On July 7, 2005, four suicide bombers hit the capital’s transport network, killed 52 people, and were injured more than 770 on three London underground train and on one bus.

The king asked him to confirm his commitment to build a society of all beliefs and pasts, standing against those who want to divide us from the country.

“Today, 20 years after the tragic events on July 7, 2005, my heartfelt thoughts and special prayers remain with everyone who has changed forever on that terrible summer day.” He said.

“We remember the permanent grief of 52 innocent people and loved ones killed in meaningless evil actions.

He said: “We remember hundreds of people carrying physical and psychological wounds and pray for the years of pain.”

The King said that the numerous story of extraordinary courage and compassion that emerged from the darkness of that day should be remembered.

He continued: “The selfless courage of our emergency services, transport workers and citizens running to help foreigners reminds us of the best of humanity in the face of the worst.”

Other members of the royal family will participate in services and monuments to mark the anniversary.
