Just to remember,reflect and express my sympathy to all those who suffered and are still suffering from the terrible and tragic events of that fateful day.

Anyone want to join me ?

"Do we have a day of rememberance for the 7,000 civillians that were killed in the bombings of April and March 2003?"

How about a White Poppy Day ?

For “the 7,000 civilians that were killed in the bombings of April and March 2003”
For all those who have died or are dying in wars
For all those who have died or are dying as resources to feed or house them have gone to war preparations

))))The white poppy isn't intended to compete with the red one, only to be different from it. The Royal British Legion has no official opinion on the wearing of white poppies, stating that it "is a matter of choice, the Legion doesn't have a problem whether you wear a red one or a white one, both or none at all ((((

Don't know if any of you actually live in London, but I normally get the very early tube through Kings Cross, changing to go to Baker Street. On July 6th, I'd been out drinking with mates, and couldn't be bothered to get up early the next day for the gym...to cut a long story short - I was on the tube ahead of the bomb.

Lucky escape? Yeah - but what the bombers don't understand is that Londoners had the IRA bombings in the 70s. We will NEVER cow down and capitulate to terrorism...by the next day, we'll be on the same tubes, reading the same free newspapers, playing the same iPhone games and gazing blankly at nothing.

Bombs only serve to strengthen us, not cow us.
