Fight back

A survivor of the 7/7 terrorist attack in London has returned to the city for the first time since the bombings to attend the Olympic Games.

Camille Scott-Bradshaw was badly injured when a suicide bomber blew up a bus in Tavistock Square in Jul 2005 — a blast that claimed the life of her friend.

Ms Scott-Bradshaw, from Lancashire, said she was determined to come back.

The bomb in Tavistock Square was one of four co-ordinated suicide attacks on the tube and bus network on July 7, 2005 — just 24 hours after the city was selected to host the 2012 Olympics.

I’ve never been back to London since [the attacks] and I told myself I would come back with the children one day to the amazing city for something amazing the children and myself will remember,” Ms Scott-Bradshaw said.

“You can’t run away from things. You have to show the children what a wonderful world it is.”
