Leaders from across the community took part in memorial events marking the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 London bombings across the capital today.

Israeli ambassador Daniel Taub attended the St Paul’s service for the 52 victims of the four bomb attacks on public transport in July 2005.

Board of Deputies director of public affairs Phil Rosenberg took part in a ceremony in Camden and joined representatives from community centre JW3 and the Union of Jewish Students in the “walk together” initiative where Londoners walk the distance between two tube stations to show solidarity with the victims of the attacks.

Rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner joined a separate “walk together” with Gill Hicks, who lost both legs in the bombings.
