 London comes to a stand still again

But for a good reason this time.

Across the city thousands of people came out of their place of work and stood silent. Buses, Taxis and cars came to a halt.

I was standing outside our Sun Office at Monument tube and watched as the whole area became quiet at 12 o'clock. You could hear the bells of churches peeling across the city, a sound probably not heard like that for decades due to the presence of cars and buses.

Everyone was silent, facing into the roads, a clear message of uniformity and defiance against those who plan to wreck our way of life. You could have heard a pin drop, literally.

Then the moment was over and London was London again, normal, busy, traffic roaring, traders yelling and people scurrying for lunch, pigeons avoiding getting trampled on in the rush.

Exactly as it was before. Unchanged.
