Yet again London has been hit by terrible tragic events the past two days and yet again in the face of adversity we see bravery and kindness beyond imagination. As ever we must be proud and grateful to our emergency services and as many before me have said ‘as people run away from events the fire crews, police force and ambulance staff push forward and do an amazing job.’

Also the generosity of strangers wanting to help in practical ways with food, clothing etc and  the immediate emergency fundraising. This is of course reminiscent  of the blitz and I recall my own mother (a Londoner) saying the comradeship couldn’t be beaten, people cared and supported each other.

Times like this makes us all count our blessings and remember people are important material things are not!
