From The Telegraph:

Thousands of people crowded into King's Cross station to remember the 52 people killed in the 7/7 suicide bombings in London three years ago.

Commuters stood shoulder to shoulder with survivors and victims' families to pay their respects to the dead.

London Mayor Boris Johnson and Tessa Jowell, the Minister for London, laid flowers outside the station at 8.50am, precisely the time the first bomb went off.

Mr Johnson placed a memorial card which read: "We honour the memory of those who died on 7/7 2005, we salute the courage of those who were injured and our thoughts and prayers are with all victims and their families."
