A vigil is due to take place to pay tribute to the victims of the London Bridge terror attack that happened on Friday.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan will be amongst those who will gather on Monday morning at 11am to honour the emergency services and members of the public who responded to the incident.

The service at Guildhall Yard will also remember the two former Cambridge students, Jack Merritt, 25, and Saskia Jones, 23, who were killed.

A book of condolence will be opened at Guildhall Art Gallery and members of the public will also be able to lay flowers at Walbrook outside Mansion House.

Mr Khan said: “I am proud to be joining Londoners from across our city to honour and remember those who were killed and injured in this vile terrorist attack.

“We will stand together to send a powerful message across the world that those who seek to attack and divide our city will never succeed.

“Like many, I will never forget the bravery of ordinary Londoners and the emergency services who risked their own lives to save others. They are the best of us.

“Our city – the greatest city in the world – will continue to stand united and resolute against terror.”
