Book Of Condolence Opens At City Hall For Victims Of London Attack
The Lord Mayor has opened a book of condolence at the City Hall in Belfast for the victims of the London attack.
Seven people were killed and dozens more injured after a van was driven at pedestrians on the London Bridge on Saturday, 03 June.
Three men then stabbed people in the Borough Market area before being shot by the police.
Sinn Féin northern leader Michelle O'Neill said: "The attacks at London Bridge and Borough Market were horrific and I condemn them.
"My thoughts are with the families and friends of all those who have lost loved ones and those who were injured, as well as with the emergency services who attended the scenes of this tragedy."
UUP leader Robin Swann said: "Once again the United Kingdom has come under attack from terrorists. Our immediate thoughts and prayers must be with the families of those who have been murdered and injured in this terrible terrorist atrocity. These were the wicked actions of terrorist thugs who cowardly targeted innocent people enjoying a night out.
"It is a shocking manifestation of the hatred our enemies have for our way of life and the free and democratic society which we hold dear. No matter what the terrorists do, they will not win.
"We must be thankful for the heroic actions of the men and women of the Metropolitan Police and Emergency Services who ran towards danger to deal with the aftermath and bring this situation to a rapid end, and also the members of the public who fought the terrorists off. But for their bravery this could have been a lot worse than it already is.
"Northern Ireland will stand with the people of London. They have endured terrorism like this before but their spirit will not be broken. London and its people are resilient and will stay strong."
