Is anyone else feeling any emotion about this? I feel very sad today and have a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. I can remember exactly what I was doing a year ago today and exactly how I felt. Will you be taking part in the 2 min silence at noon?

p.s I would really appreciate it if this thread wasn't turned into any kind of debate about muslims/suicide bombers or anything similiar - more of a remembrance to the people who died. Thank you. ktlou x

I was visiting a very elderly friend in a residential home when the news flashed on TV and he was in absolute panic because his daughter worked in London and he couldn't raise her on her mobile to check she was OK. We didn't realise at the time that all the signals had been blocked. It was only days later that I learned that former work colleague of mine had been killed in the Edgware Road bomb. That really bought the stark reality home to me. I am sure that today will have a very special significance to everybody in London who uses the public transport system to go to work.

I took part in the min silence in the comfort of my home in my lttle town in one of the shires in this wonderful country of ours.And my heart goes out to all those poor people who were either maimed for life or indeed lost their lives. It brought tears to my eyes reading all of these posts, especially from the people that work in the city,who, i can ony imagine the sheer panic they must of felt in the minuets after this dreadful act.We must be strong and carry on and respect the freedom and liberty we have,and never bow down and give in to people who try to take away all that.London and the Brits seem to have this spirit.xx

i actually remember i was sitting on answerbank at the time and a few of the regular users who happened to stay in london came on making comments about how " something " was happening and through out the day it just unravelled what had actually happened . terrible !

An update from me... I just went round to Regents Park and the mosaic they are doing is beautiful. There are lots of little holes to put a flower in and there are hundreds of flowers to be placed. Once complete It will look fanastic. I laid my flower and just about managed to hold back the tears. I am so pleased that I went along. It was so silent down there apart from the people testing the microphones for the ceremony later on, even though there were many people. Just though you'd like to know cause obviously not everyone can do it. xx

I don't know why, but I do not feel any emotion. I remember exactly what I was doing last year, and was worried about several people I know about who both go on public transport and work on public transport. I took part in the silence, but I don't feel sad, it feels like a normal day. It could be because I do not know anyone who was there last year.

I work in Baker Street - literally opposite Regents Park.
Was gonna go over there and lay some flowers but have decided not to.

Simply because i think it will bring me to tears and depress me to be frank.

I had butterflies in my stomach this morning. I hope and pray that those killed are resting in peace. Kay.
