Three cheers indeed. I've never felt so proud to be British. As Tony Blair said " We will not be terrorised"
My thoughts and deepest sympathy are with all of you. Three cheers for our magnificent emergency services too.
God Bless

There is quite a good poem about yesterday's events, written by a listener on the Radio London website.  It is just called "London Pride"

This has been forwarded to me - I share it with you all.

When I am dead, my dearest, 
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head, 
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me 
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember, 
And if thou wilt, forget. 

I shall not see the shadows, 
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale 
Sing on, as if in pain;
And dreaming through the twilight 
That doth not rise nor set,
Happily I may remember, 
And never will we forget

Keep it up, Londoners!!!

Your attitude is inspiring.  The terrorists do not realise what a hopeless task they have taken on in trying to break your spirit.  Wonderful stuff!

That's a lovely verse.   It reminds me of another one which is often quoted at times like these:

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

When you see the sun set fair
I am the scented evening air.
I am the joy of a task well done,
I am the glow of the setting sun.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
