Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and faith leaders from the Muslim and Christian communities have held a joint vigil for the victims of Wednesday’s terror attack in London.
Rabbi Mirvis described the event, which he organised with Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, as "a powerful statement togetherness".
The two leaders were joined by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, Imam Khalifa Ezzat of the London Central Mosque and Sheikh Mohammad al Hilli of the UK's Shia community, at the vigil outside Westminster Abbey on Friday afternoon.
In a speech, Rabbi Mirvis told the watching crowd: “Terrorists seek to instill fear and terror into the hearts and minds of millions. They also seek to divide us.
