Tenth anniversary of the London 7/7 bombings

Britons paused in silence and walked in solidarity Tuesday to mark the 10th anniversary of suicide bomb attacks on London's transit system.

Four British men inspired by al-Qaida blew themselves up on three London subway trains and a bus during the morning rush hour on July 7, 2005, killing 52 commuters and injuring more than 700. The memory of that morning remains raw in this country of 64 million.

Solemn ceremonies were held throughout the capital, starting at the memorial in London's Hyde Park devoted to the victims. Prime Minister David Cameron and London Mayor Boris Johnson weaved through the memorial's 52 pillars to lay wreaths, one for each victim.

At 8:50 a.m., the moment the attacks began, the park fell silent. Families of victims clutched flowers. Some in the crowd bowed their heads. (AP)
