Muslim women dressed in headscarves stand hand-in-hand on Westminster Bridge in solidarity with the victims of London terror attack


Muslim women stood hand-in-hand with others on Westminster Bridge in a show of solidarity with the victims of Wednesday's terror attack. A group of women, who said they were wearing blue as a symbol of hope, stood holding hands for five minutes on Westminster Bridge as Big Ben chimed 4pm. People from a range of backgrounds joined the event, organised by Women's March On London. Three members of the public died after Khalid Masood sped along the bridge before storming the parliamentary estate and stabbing PC Keith Palmer to death. The women said they wanted to add to the condemnation of the violent attack and stand defiant in the face of terrorism. Others added that being present for the demonstration shows people in the city are united in support of democracy.
