00:00A hugely horrific and devastating day for this country.

00:03I've spoke to people who, well I'm not a Londoner, so I wasn't around,

00:07but I know lots of people back home, lots of people in the city actually,

00:09who spent the day ringing, trying to find family members

00:12who they knew were likely to be travelling at that time.

00:14All of the challenges of getting through, of getting home from work,

00:17of finding those loved ones, and actually there's also a group of people

00:19who are still living with those consequences today.

00:22People who lost people in those horrific circumstances,

00:25people who were injured and suffered some of those consequences still today.

00:28I'm due to meet them tomorrow, many of those survivors to hear their stories,

00:32look at what more we can do to support them going forwards,

00:35and what lessons we have and haven't learned from this situation.
