The people of Enfield joined the nation in a two-minute silence in memory of those who were killed or injured in the London bomb attacks.

More than 10,000 council staff stopped work at the Civic Centre, while office and shopworkers stood outside their workplaces in the borough's streets to stand and reflect on the horrific events which led to the deaths of at least 55 people on July 7.

Work also stopped on the PalaceXchange development as construction workers downed tools to pay their respects to the victims of the attacks at the entrance to the building site in London Road.

Faith groups stood shoulder to shoulder outside the mosque in Fore Street, Edmonton, where representatives of the Islamic Centre joined Bishop of Edmonton Peter Wheatley, Cllr Betty Costello, police officers and residents in a demonstration of solidarity.

In central London, there were silent vigils at Tube stations. Buses and black cabs stopped in the street, and a memorial service at Trafalgar Square was attended by Mayor of London Ken Livingstone.
