Transport for London7/7 victims honoured by the Mayor and TfL
London's Transport Commissioner, Peter Hendy CBE; London Underground Managing Director, Tim O'Toole CBE; and Network Rail Chief Executive, Iain Coucher will join the Mayor and Minister to mark the third anniversary of the attacks by laying wreaths at 8.50, the time of the first explosions, outside King's Cross station.
The floral wreaths are being laid, as they have been in the two previous years, in the small enclosed garden outside the station.
This became the focus for floral tributes and public sympathy in the days following the attacks on 7 July 2005.
Respects are also being paid by the victims' families and friends, as well as transport staff and survivors, at King's Cross St Pancras, the three other affected Underground stations -Aldgate, Edgware Road, Russell Square - and at Tavistock Square, where the bus attack occurred.
