It is ten years to the day that the country suffered one of its most abhorrent attacks on freedom. 

And as Britain remembers the events of 7/7/2005, thousands have put on a defiant display in the face of the ever-encroaching threat of terror. 

In memory of those killed in the bombings a decade ago, commuters across London and the rest of the UK today stepped off the train, Tube and bus one stop early to walk the remainder of their journey.

Most of the posts were left by Londoners, some of whom had been living in the capital ten years ago when the atrocities were carried out.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie were also at the ceremony. Following the minute's silence, flower petals fell from the cathedral's dome and four candles were lit for each of the blast sites. 

Giving an address at the service, the Bishop of London Richard Chartres said: 'Soon after 7/7 the families and friends of the victims compiled a book of tributes.

'It is a taste of the ocean of pain surrounding the loss of each one of the victims.The tribute book is also very revealing about the character of the London which the bombers attacked.

'The majority of the victims were young. They came from all over the UK and all over the world.'

Dr David Ison, dean of St Paul's Cathedral, began the service by telling the congregation: 'We come together to share our grief and to comfort one another; to find strength and to foster resilience; and to affirm that even in our darkest hour the light of faith and the flame of hope burn strong.'

London Mayor, Boris Johnson then gave a reading from the New Testament, which said: 'Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

'And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ.'

Survivors, relatives of the dead and members of the emergency services were all invited to the poignant event, in which prayers were led by priests who helped minister people in the hours and days after the blasts.

The atrocities were the worst attack on British soil with 52 killed and around 700 left with injuries. The anniversary today comes amid a number of warnings about the enduring and changing threat from terrorism worldwide, and just a fortnight after the Tunisian beach massacre in which 30 British holidaymakers were shot dead.
