Today marks the first anniversary of the London July 7, 2005 bombings.
52 people were killed in four explosions, three in the London
Underground and one on a bus in Tavistock Square. I was on holiday in
Britain at the time and it shook me every bit as much as if I was in
Ireland, given the proximity. The manner in which the British public
have dealt with this terrible tragedy shows their great dedication and
courage, reminiscent of the aftermath of the Battle of Britain in 1941.
Although this was, needless to say, not the first terrorist attack of
the century, it will hopefully be the last. That, however, may to
wishful thinking.

R.I.P.

This blog is dedicated to the memory of the 52 victim of the London bombings. Let us never forget.
