London to mark terror attack anniversary with minute's silence

LONDON, June 2 (Xinhua) -- London will mark the one year anniversary of a terror attack on London Bridge with a one minute's silence and church service on Sunday.

On June 3, 2017, three terrorists drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge before carrying out a stabbing spree in pubs and restaurants in nearby Borough Market, which left eight people dead and nearly 50 others injured.

On Sunday, a procession from Southwark Cathedral to the Southwark Needle monument will take place before the minute's silence at 4:30 p.m.(GMT1630), while a service will be held at the Cathedral for victims' relatives, survivors and members of the emergency services to remember those who lost their lives.

Leader of Southwark council Peter John told the media that the day will forever be imprinted in the memories of residents in the Southwark neighborhood, other Londoners and friends from around the world whose lives tragically changed that night.

"The first anniversary is an emotional time for everyone involved, and we hope that all will find comfort and solace in the planned events, remembering those who were lost, and also those who suffered physical and psychological harm," he said. Enditem
