Memorial for 52 killed in London terror blasts

A MEMORIAL to the 52 commuters who were killed in suicide bomb attacks in London on July 7, 2005 is to be built in the city’s main park, it was announced yesterday.

Culture secretary, Tessa Jowell, said the permanent feature would be situated in Lovers’ Walk, on the east side of the 142ha Hyde Park in central London.

The memorial will be jointly managed by Ms Jowell’s department, the Royal Parks Agency — which manages 5,000 acres of green space in London — and victims’ families.
