Walked down to Kings Cross...

...at lunch time with a load of colleagues from work. We went to observe the two minutes silence to remember the victims of the attacks of 7/7, the logical place to gather seemed to be the shrine that has sprung up in the tiny garden at the corner of the station...

...it almost goes without saying that lots of other people had the same idea...

...the media were present, represented most intrusively by the Paparatzi who didn't stop taking photographs the whole time (mine were all taken as we waited for the hour to approach)...

...the Police were out in force too, even some on horse back...not that there was any trouble...I've never had 2 minutes vanish so quickly in my life before...and almost without a word everyone went their separate ways as soon as the time was passed...

...it was a profound experience, and very surreal, for London to fall so silent that the sound of a camera mechanism seems loud and intrusive...and it was chillingly reminiscent of the day itself, with so many people standing in just the same places as after the attacks, and so many police around....

You will fail...
