Londoners in Trafalgar Square on the evening of 14th of July

Following the events of the 7 July 2005 London bombings, the United Kingdom and other nations have devised many ways to honor the dead and missing. Most of these memorials included moments of silence, candle-lit vigils, and laying of flowers at the bombing sites. Foreign leaders have also honored the dead by ordering their flags to be half-staffed, signed books of condolences at embassies of the United Kingdom, and issued messages of support and condolences to the British people.
