Third anniversary of the 2017 Westminster terror attack

“Three years ago, our city faced a terror attack in Westminster which sought to divide our communities and destroy our way of life. It was not only an attack on London, but an attack on the freedom and values our country holds dear.

“Today, Londoners across our city stand together, bound by those shared values and freedoms which unite us against terrorism in all its forms.

“On the third anniversary of the attack, we will be taking the time today to stop, reflect and remember the innocent victims Aysha, Kurt, Leslie, Andreea, the courageous police officer Keith Palmer as well as the many others who were seriously injured. 

“Although the commemoration event planned with survivors will not now be taking place, as a city we will never forget what happened that day three years ago. The victims will forever be in our thoughts and prayers, as will the families and friends of those affected.

“Recent attacks in London Bridge and Streatham remind us that challenges lie ahead. But we know those who seek to divide us and destroy our way of life in London will never succeed. We continue to stand united against terrorism and in hope for the future.”

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan
