2 Minutes Silence at Noon for London

London and the rest of Europe will observe a 2-minute silence for those lost in the tragic events of last Thursday's bombings.

Millions of people across Europe are to join Londoners in a two-minute silence, a week after the bombings that killed at least 52 and injured 700.

London Mayor Ken Livingstone has asked people to stand outside shops, offices and homes to show "their complete defiance of the terrorists".

London buses and cabs will stop; Tube trains will still run but the silence, at 1200 BST, will be announced.

People are being urged to stand outside homes and offices. A vigil will be held at 1800 BST in Trafalgar Square.
