Two minute silence

At 12:00 BST today, London and many around the world observed a two minute silence for the 48 people who died in the terrorist attacks on London on 7 July.

During those two minutes, approximately 42 children worldwide died due to poverty.

We are not going to let terrorists cause us to lose perspective.

One thing I get a little cross about though is the expensive tributes being left at KX, when that money would have been better spent being donated to Red Cross for the fund for the families and survivors. I felt the same when Diana died - all that money that could have been donated in her name to eradicate landmines instead.
