# The United Kingdom is commemorating the 20th anniversary of the London 7 July bombings that killed 52 people. King Charles paid tribute to the spirit of unity shown after the atrocity. To mark the moment the first bomb went off, prime minister Keir Starmer and London mayor Sadiq Khan laid wreaths at the 7 July memorial in the capital’s Hyde Park. On 7 July 2005, four homegrown Islamist extremists detonated suicide bombs on three underground trains and a bus across central London, injuring hundreds of people.
