Londoners lined the streets at noon today to remember 7/7 with two minutes silence. I find there to be something immensely powerful in this sort of unified action in the faceless City – it’s not a protest, it’s not just a rememberance, it’s a flying in the face of danger, it’s the general populace taking on the Churchill-esque role of walking through the ruins encouraging the survivors, it leaves lingering an absolute certainty that no matter how many times these events might be repeated we will still stand.
