Images from the London bombings
| The British Red Cross joined the emergency services in responding to the worst terrorist atrocity suffered in the UK. At least 49 people perished and 700 were injured in the four bombs which exploded in London on 7 July 2005.
Three exploded on the London Underground network at King's Cross, Aldgate and Edgeware Road during the morning rush hour. A fourth bomb exploded shortly afterwards on a bus travelling through Tavistock Square.
The Mayor of London established the London Bombings Relief Charitable Fund, in association with the Red Cross, to raise money for the victims and their families. | |
| A total of 25 British Red Cross ambulances provided support to the London Ambulance Service as the disaster unfolded. | | |  | |
| More than180 trained volunteers provided first aid and support to hundreds of injured and distressed commuters at Liverpool Street, King's Cross, Edgware Road and Russell Square. | | |  | |
| Neil Walker, a fire victim support volunteer, said: ``We helped one lady whose friend had been killed, looking after her until her husband was able to pick her up.'' | | |  | |
| The biggest loss of life was at King's Cross. Red Cross volunteers were present at 46 stations around London and the South East, providing first aid and comfort to commuters returning home. | | |  | |
| The Red Cross continues to provide support for the families of the missing and survivors. It has set up a temporary assistance centre to offer practical and emotional support. | | |  | |
| One week after the London bombings thousands of people paid their respects to those who lost their lives in a two minute silence in the heart of London, at Trafalgar Square. | | |  | |
