As most people are doubtless aware, today is the 1st. anniversary of the London bus and tube bombings. There was a two-minute silence at midday, and I was in Russell Square at the time, so was able to join many other mourners (including representatives of the community such as the Mayor of Camden) round an oak sapling which had been planted in memory of the dead.
 People had placed white roses round it in a semicircle - it was really moving, I felt rather tearful.
