UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has returned to Downing Street from the G8 Sumit in Gleneagles. He condemned the terrorists and, echoed by an address by Major Ken Livingstone, paid tribute to the resilience of the people of London.

The Queen said she was "deeply shocked" and sent her sympathy to those affected.

An Islamist website has posted a statement - purportedly from al-Qaeda - claiming it was behind the attacks. Investigations have yet to prove who the culprits are, and why they performed this act of terrorism at this time.
