unfortunately no photos (they did run some in the paper, but maybe she didn't want them on the internet) but she looks 100% normal and unscarred

"The days that followed were a nervous time and I, like every other bus driver, couldn't help being suspicious of certain people getting on the bus."
still after after 5 years every time i get on a bus, tube or train in London (and any city to be honest) the pessimistic "what ifs" always creep in - a much smaller more remote legacy of 7/7

Remember it well.... had a group of people up from the south/london doing a peer review in birmingham... spent most of the day keeping them up to date on what had happened and as I knew london's transport system pretty well finding alternative routes home for them, friends parents were on a sightseeing trip to the capital that day and she was going frantic as they had mobiles switched off... finally traced them late afternoon they'd been out to Hampton court and had no idea anything had happpened.... it also brought back memories of the london IRA bombings most of which happened close to where I was working,,, People never learn... such acts never work.....just increase the mistrust and hatred...

thanks Naomi - do you think it would be fitting to have something like a UK National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism - something like Canada does ?
))))The National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism is marked every year on June 23 in Canada to mark the anniversary of the bombing of Air India Flight 182 off the coast of Ireland.
On this day, flags across Canada are flown at half-mast to honour the victims of the bombing, as well as other acts of terrorist violence that have taken lives of Canadians.(((((

I think not, olddutch. That, I feel, would be seen by the insane people who plan and perpetrate such mindless atrocities as a continual mark of what they perceive as their victory. As difficult as it was, especially for those who lost loved ones, I think we did what was right by getting on with life.
I really, really wish i could find a picture of a message that was on like a wall next to some flowers. IT jsut said something so strong and uniting like "you picked the wrong city and nothing will break our spirit"
it was something like that and it brought a tear to my eye because it was so strong and showed the rest of the world what we are made of and that we ill not be broken!
it is my biggest memory from the day and it was an uplifting memory and although the day was horrific. My overriding memory was of hope!

I remember taking my sister to London a few days after the attacks happened to do her work experience in Parliament. It was so sad seeing all the posters of missing people or people who were injured/killed. It was a very sad time.
But as said before the best way is to get on with life, never forget but don't let them break our spirit!
